I was instantly drawn into this slow-burn novel. After a violent assault in London, our heroine scores a teaching job in the English countryside, in a place that seems safe. Her writing students are doing fascinating work, especially the one who is drawing her into his disturbing orbit. This is propulsive, psychological intrigue at its best.
