(4) YA A senior at the demanding, remote boarding school at which his father is headmaster, David investigates his mother's two-years-unsolved murder, believing his father to be the culprit. The true villain's motives are a bit convoluted for credibility, but the meticulous layering of detail adds up to a satisfying bait-and-switch plot that doesn't play to expectations.
