Author Cornelia Read tells this story of teacher Madeline Dare, who unearths a conspiracy among her fellow teachers at a school for troubled youth. It’s a dark account of an authoritarian headmaster and the murder of a young couple by poison. Madeline herself is accused of the crime, a development that forces her to join forces with the school’s most rebellious students to identify the real perpetrators. Hillary Huber carries out the reading at a tortoise pace. While her delivery is clear, it sprawls on and on, emphasizing every word and pulling the energy out of what could have been a captivating story. The result is a poor listening experience.
