Lila Ridgefield lives in an idyllic college town, but not everything is what it seems. Lila isn\u2019t what she seems. A student vanished months ago. Now, Lila\u2019s husband, Aaron, is also missing. At first these cases are treated as horrible coincidences until it\u2019s discovered the student is really the third of three unexplained disappearances over the last few years. The police are desperate to find the connection, if there even is one. Little do they know they might be stumbling over only part of the truth\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n With the small town in an uproar, everyone is worried about the whereabouts of their beloved high school teacher. Everyone except Lila, his wife. She\u2019s definitely confused about her missing husband but only because she was the last person to see his body, and now it\u2019s gone.<\/em><\/p>\n Winter Reading Bingo Challenge<\/strong> – The Wawa Public Library is challenging you to read, read, read and get a chance to win an awesome prize package!
