Description In Pursuance Of Books Dark Rooms

The Secret History meets Sharp Objects in this stunning debut about murder and glamour set in the ambiguous and claustrophobic world of an exclusive New England prep school. Death sets the plot in motion: the murder of Nica Baker, beautiful, wild, enigmatic, and only sixteen. The crime is solved, and quickly—a lonely classmate, unrequited love, a suicide note confession—but memory and instinct won’t allow Nica’s older sister, Grace, to accept the case as closed. Dropping out of college and living at home, working at the moneyed and progressive private high school in Hartford, Connecticut, from which she recently graduated, Grace becomes increasingly obsessed with identifying and punishing the real killer. Compulsively readable, Lili Anolik’s debut novel combines the verbal dexterity of Marisha Pessl’s Special Topic in Calamity Physics and the haunting atmospherics and hairpin plot twists of Megan Abbott’s Dare Me.

Discuss Containing Books Dark Rooms

unlike The Secret History, this book has some problems. i was prepared for it, since so many of the reviews on here have been thumbs-down; people expecting a donna tartt or a gillian flynn and getting something altogether different. and i can't say i hated it - it's a very fast read, and it was a fine summer diversion, but it takes some frustrating shortcuts down build-the-suspense road.nica baker is sixteen when she is murdered on the grounds of chandler academy, a prep school in hartford,

My immediate thoughts after reading Lili Anolik's Dark Rooms:1. Wait, that's it?2. Seriously, that's freaking IT?!!3. That's bullshit.4. Well, I guess that's one weekend I can never get back.I should have known. I was on a roll; I was reading some good, some not so good but entertaining books and then I read Dark Rooms and my streak came to a screeching halt. I knew within reading the first paragraph I wasn't going to like it but I kept trudging away. My instincts were right.Dark Rooms is a

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars I hauled my body along, through the trees, over the fence, toward what I knewknew because it was there, all of it, in that piercing mechanical wail, knew because it was prophesied in my dream, as elusive as a scent, a shadow, a ghost, knew because it was written in the very blood flowing through my veinswould be as bad as it gets. Grace and Nica both attend Chandler Academy, a private boarding school in Hartford, Connecticut where their parents are also teachers. Grace

If 2015, so far, has been the year I've started being more selective about psychological thrillers (post- Girl on the Train disappointment) and discovered that I seem to like all the films everyone hates and feel ambivalent towards all the films everyone loves, it might also become the year I finally abandon my persisting affection for any story that resembles, or is compared to, my favourite book, The Secret History. The latest disappointment in what's becoming a very long and uneven line of

If this book did nothing else it made me so incredibly grateful for the mother I have. Not that my family was perfect by any means but the mother in this book is a piece of work. Seriously she makes Joan Crawford look like a nominee for mother of the year. grace is the eldest, the quiet sister, the good one. Nica, one year younger is popular, considered by many to be wild. Despite these differences the sisters were close, so when Nica doesn't return home one night and is found dead the next

Haunting, poetic and addictive, despite the teenagers who act like they're 25 rather than 16 (I don't even know if I can say that, considering I'm 25 and I'm nowhere near as deep or "mature" as the sisters in Dark Rooms) and the convenient clue-finding that crops up in almost every one of these types of novels. The privileged prep school murder story has been done to death, but I don't think I'll ever really get tired of it. And this one does bring some fresh aspects to the table - the

Well, this was awful. Normally I feel guilty for giving a book such a low rating, but this book was not just bad, it was offensive. I had the same problems as everyone else. First of all, Dark Rooms is nothing like The Secret History, Dark Places, Sharp Objects, Twin Peaks, or any of the other "edgy" mysteries out there. But hey, at least it wasn't hailed as the next Gone Girl like every other book!But a misleading blurb is not the offensive part. The offensive part is that (view spoiler)
