The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodkind

A literary mystery, which means that the quality of writing is higher than your average whodunit. The characterization is excellent, several generations of girls/women that are all students, teachers, or alumni at a private girl's high school. The setting is also excellent, the Adirondacks of New York.

The plot revolves around a series of mysterious suicides of two generations of students. Or are they suicides? The plot is convoluted and complicated, but that is part of the charm of this novel. I highly recommend it.
