“Few readers will be prepared for the surprise that awaits at novel’s end.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review). “Cook is a master, precise and merciless, at showing the slow-motion shattering of families and relationships.... The Chatham School Affair ranks with his best.” — Chicago Tribune “Such a seductive book.” — The New York Times Book Review “Like the best of his crime-writing colleagues, Cook uses the genre to open a window onto the human condition... [a] literate, compelling novel.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
