Groff, Lauren. The Monsters of Templeton. First edition. New York, Hyperion, 2008. 17 x 24cm. (12), 364 pages. Original hardcover with dustjacket in protective Mylar. Deckle edges. Excellent condition, like new. ‘The Monsters of Templeton’ is part contemporary story of a girl’s search for her father, part historical novel, and part ghost story. At its core it is a tale of how one town holds the secrets of a family. Willie Cooper arrives on the doorstep of her ancestral home in Templeton, New York in the wake of a disastrous affair with her much older, married archaeology professor. Smarting from a broken heart, Willie then learns that the story her mother had always told her about her father has all been a lie. As Willie puts her archaeological skills to work digging for the truth about her lineage, a chorus of voices from the town’s past—both sinister and disturbing—rise up around her to tell their sides of the story. Willie discovers the curse of the Temple family runs deep. In the end, dark secrets come to light, past and present blur, old mysteries are finally put to rest, and the surprising truth about more than one monster is revealed. [From publisher’s note]
