In college they were popular and priviledged, an inseparable group of friends so golden that everyone wanted in. They knew one another's deepest secrets, sharing everything-including the vow of silence made when they found classmate Lily Vaughan murdered, her blood a scarlet stain against the snow on which she lay.
Now, two decades later, the dark truth so long buried seems to be coming back to haunt them. How else to account for the escalating violence that attacks each in her most hidden place?None is safe; Quinn in her cloistered labtoratory; Susie in her elegant New York apartment; Lis, wrestling with the production of her first play; Dinah, brutually stripped of the illusion of her secure suburban marriage. Their friendship lets them discover how each has been assaulted, but friendship can do nothing to stem the mounting nightmares.
I didn't think this was very well written. It was too confusing at the beginning to figure out who was who, and the storyline kept going back in time and made things even more confusing.
I'm on chapter 7 and having a hard time getting into this book. Not sure if I'll finish it. Update - I read a couple more chapters but just couldn't get into it. I don't know if it's the writing style, the multiple characters that I was trying to keep straight or what it was. But I allowed myself to not finish this book.
