Publisher's Summary
Power. Jealousy. Desire.
Twenty-five years ago, a 16-year-old schoolgirl and her charismatic teacher disappeared without trace....
When Louisa arrives at Temple House, an elite Catholic boarding school, she quickly finds herself drawn to sophisticated fellow pupil Victoria and their young bohemian art teacher Mr Lavelle. The three of them form a bond that seems to offer an escape from the repressive regime of the nuns who run the cloistered school. Until Louisa and Mr Lavelle suddenly vanish.
Years later, a journalist with a childhood connection to Louisa determines to resolve the mystery. Her search for the truth will uncover a tragic, mercurial tale of suppressed desire and long-buried secrets. It will shatter lives and lay a lost soul to rest.
The Temple House Vanishing is a stunning, intensely atmospheric novel of unrequited longing, dark obsession and unintended consequences.

okay but a bit strained
i half enjoyed this half the time -- but the plot is a stretch (girl goes missing, evidently no one investigates until it all yields rather easily to a young journalist 25 years later).
the characters are insipid and don't develop in any credible way.
all collapses into romantic schmultz. i guess it was reaching for irish gothic--picnic at hanging rock vibe...?
last few pages are painful (not in a good way).
