A tautly plotted psychological suspense as intelligent as it is mesmerizing, What Has Become of You asks, What if a teacher's most promising pupil is also her most dangerous?

What if a teacher's most promising pupil is also her most dangerous?

Aspiring writer Vera Lundy hasn't entirely overcome her own adolescence when she agrees to teach at a tiny private school. A recent murder has already put their small New England town on edge when Vera bonds with a student who's eerily reminiscent of her younger self. Amid a growing sense of menace, Vera finds herself in the vortex of danger-and suspicion.

Reviews for What Has Become of You: A Novel

Prase for <i>What Has Become of You</i> A precocious teenager. A teacher who can t quite grow up. <i>What Has Become of You</i> is a suspenseful and tightly plotted thriller filled with vivid and memorable characters, each with her own compelling voice. Alafair Burge, author of <i>If You Were Here, Long Gone, </i>and the Ellie Hatcher series Part gloss on <i>The Catcher in the Rye</i> and part millennial <i>The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, What Has Become of You</i> is that rare beast: a page-turner that asks dark, difficult questions about the state of contemporary American society. Joanne Smith Rakoff, author of <i>A Fortunate Age</i> Watson s twisty plot speeds with page-turner momentum, but what s likely to stick with you are the complex characters of Vera and Jensen, who are, by turns, vulnerable, flawed, and surprising, bravely struggling to rewrite the stories of their lives. <i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review
