"Camilla Preaker tiene que investigar la desaparición de una niña en su pueblo natal: crímenes, pero también fantasmas del pasado será lo que se encuentre."@en
"Babydoll steht auf ihrem Bein. Petticoat auf ihrer linken Hüfte. Böse findet sich ganz in der Nähe. Girl prangt über ihrem Herzen, schädlich ist in ihr Handgelenk geritzt. Camille Preakers Körper ist übersät mit Wörtern. Wörtern, die sie sich in die Haut geritzt hat. Das letzte Wort, das sie sich einritzte, hiess verschwinden. Danach stellte sie sich. Den Therapeuten, aber auch ihrer Vergangenheit. In ihrer alten Heimatstadt Wind Gap wurden zwei Teenager entführt und ermordet. Camille Preaker soll den Fall für ihre Zeitung vor Ort recherchieren. Sie findet die Dämonen ihrer Kindheit. Und die verbreiten nicht nur Angst und Schrecken, sondern töten auch."

"When two girls, aged nine and ten are abducted and killed in Wind Gap, Missouri, Camille Preaker is sent back to her home town to investigate and report on the crimes. Camille is the daughter of one of the richest families in town. Haunted by a childhood tragedy and long estranged from her mother, Camille suddenly finds herself installed once again in her family's Victorian mansion, reacquainting herself with her mother and the half-sister she barely knows, a precocious 13-year-old who holds a disquieting grip on the town and surrounds herself with a group of vampish teenage girls. As Camille struggles to remain detached from the evidence, her relationship with her neurotic, hypochondriac mother threatens to topple her hard-won mental stability. Working alongside the police chief and a special agent from out of town, Camille tries to uncover the mystery of who killed these little girls and why. But there are deeper psychological puzzles: Why does Camille identify so strongly with the dead girls? And how is this connected to the death of another sister years earlier?--"
"Flynn's debut novel focuses on an emotionally fragile young woman whose sanity is being severely tested by family dysfunction, smalltown incivility and murder. It is a mesmerizing psychological thriller that is also quite disturbing and, thanks to reader Lee's chillingly effective rendition, at times almost unbearably so. Camille Preaker, a novice reporter with a history of self-mutilation, is sent to her hometown in Missouri to cover the murder of one teenage girl and the disappearance of another. There, she must face a variety of monsters from the past and the present, including her aloof and patronizing mother, her obnoxiously precocious 13-year-old stepsister who dabbles in drugs, sex and humiliation, and an unknown serial killer whose mutilated victims bring back haunting memories. Lee's interpretation of mom enhances the character's detachment and airy state of denial to an infuriating degree. And her abrupt change of pace when Camille suddenly begins chanting the words carved on her body is hair-raising. But the voice Lee gives to the stepsister?tinged with a sarcastic, cynical and downright evil girly singsong?makes one's blood run cold."@en
