Wetherell. 520 $a After her professor's suspicious death, a PhD student uncovers dark machinations among her academic associates in this "richly atmospheric and irresistibly readable" (Joyce Carol Oates) Gothic mystery set between Scotland, Italy, and France. Fleeing a disastrous affair with a colleague in Boston, Isabel Henley moves to Scotland to begin a PhD with a renowned feminist professor?only to learn, upon arrival, that her advisor has suffered a deadly fall. Soon after, Isabel is informed that another scholar at the university is about to publish a book on her dissertation topic, leaving her disconcerted and in search of a new subject, all while struggling to acclimate to her new home abroad. Isabel needs a good friend during such a rocky start, and finds one when she reconnects with Rose Brewster, her charismatic classmate from undergrad. But when Rose confides to Isabel that she is in trouble, and then goes missing, Isabel's already-unsteady life is sent into a tailspin. A suicide note surfaces, followed by a coded message: Rose is alive but, unless Isabel can complete the research begun before her friend's disappearance, both women will be killed by her captors. As Isabel follows the Rose's paper trail from Genoa to Florence and, finally, to Paris, she uncovers family secrets, the legend of an enormous cursed emerald, and a chain of betrayal and treason which parallels her own perilous present. If she can put the pieces together soon, she could solve a 400-year-old mystery?and save her and her friend's lives in the process. Combining epistolary elements, Gothic suspense, and an atmospheric "dark academia" setting, The Bequest is a gripping literary thriller that will appeal to fans of Alex Michaelides' The Maidens and Donna Tartt's The Secret History. 538 $a Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 373955 KB). 650 17 $a Fiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Historical Fiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Mystery. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Thriller. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Wetherell, Kimberly M.. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9015850 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=6fd25963-33ac-446a-89b5-51721ed917e1&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0887-1/%7B6FD25963-33AC-446A-89B5-51721ED917E1%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0887-1/%7B6FD25963-33AC-446A-89B5-51721ED917E1%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/6fd25963-33ac-446a-89b5-51721ed917e1 $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230104013549.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=083522D48C0011EDA40A627456ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
