Description
The winter session at Lakeside Pines is meant to be a slower, quieter time. A handful of year-round residents gather by the fire in the evenings, share needlework projects, and let the lake do its work on their nerves. This year, one of those women has been carrying something she should have confessed months ago.
When a long-standing member of the inner circle is found to have been passing private information outside the colony walls, the fallout is swift and bitter. But the real question is not who leaked the secret. It is who gave her the information in the first place, and what they were hoping would happen when it got out.
Quiet Treachery moves at the deliberate pace of a long winter evening, building toward a conclusion that is all the more unsettling for how quietly it arrives.
