The Stone Girl by Dirk Wittenborn

​5 stars
Way up in the Adirondack forest there is an exclusive hunting lodge where very wealthy men fish, hunt and get into mischief. There is also Valhalla, Lulu's mansion and it is here that a local girl finds her life's passion for restoring statues. Both Evie and Lulu have run ins with the powerful men who call themselves "The Lost Boys" and just like the women before them can't do anything to get back at them - until now. Violence, control, lies and fear all lead to a powerful conclusion and a day of reckoning for all the harm the Lost Boys have inflicted upon the women in the little mountain town. Perfectly paced with the beauty and violence of the mountains in contrast to the human violence, this intelligent thriller will grab you from the first page. Boys will be boys doesn't cut it as an excuse for the women of Rangley, New York. Fans of smart stories where there isn't always a straight path to justice served will appreciate this bad boy thriller.
