Book Review: The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel

One word: Awesome.

The Roanoke Girls is the right combination of disturbing and delightful. Realistic and reasonably flawed characters converge in this dramatic novel about a family with more secrets than it can contain.



Centering around Lane Roanoke as she returns to a home she fled eleven years, the story alternates between "then" and "now." Then refers to the summer after Lane's mother committed suicide and she was sent to live with the grandparents she'd never known. Now details the reason for Lane's return - her cousin Allegra's disappearance - and everything that transpires in the search for what happened to the missing Roanoke girl.

The Verdict

I can't give away anymore without ruining the mystery but I finished The Roanoke Girls in a matter of hours and it only took that long because my kids are on Spring Break.
