The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman

3.0

This story of a Latin teacher in a boarding school was a decent enough story of suspense in which events at the school seem to be echoing the traumatic events the teacher experienced there as a teenager. I saw the ending coming a long way off - and given my usual powers of detection with these sorts of stories means that it was really, really obvious. Most of the characters' motivations seemed fairly far fetched, and I found myself rolling my eyes at a few points, which is a good indicator that I'm not terribly engrossed in a book. OK, but not great.
