Arrowood: A Novel by Laura McHugh. Spiegel & Grau (Penguin Random House), 2016. Adult fiction.The little town of Keokuk, Iowa and the historic Arrowood house are almost as important as the human characters in this twisty tale of mystery. Arden Arrowood has returned to her childhood home to find it much the same as she remembered it when she was a child. The overriding event in her family's lives was the disappearance of her toddler twin sisters when Arden was eight and supposed to be watching them. Can Arden figure out what really happened? Can she ever get over her guilt? With the help of her first love, Ben Ferris (now the town dentist!) and a new friend, Josh, whose website about unsolved mysteries may shed some clues on the case, Arden struggles to move forward with her life. Life on the Mississippi makes for a great read indeed!
