DESCRIPTION: \r\nJoin us at the library as we discuss Before the Ruins by
  Victoria Gosling\r\nBooks are available at the Adult Help Desk\r\nA gripp
 ing, multilayered debut in the tradition of Tana French and Donna Tartt ab
 out four friends, an empty manor, and a night that will follow them for th
 e rest of their lives\r\nIt's the summer of 1996 and school's ou
 t forever for Andy, her boyfriend Marcus, her best friend Peter, and Em. W
 hen Andy's alcoholic mother predicts the apocalypse, the four teenage
 rs decide to see out the end of the world at a deserted manor house, the s
 ite of a historic unsolved mystery. There they meet David—charming and u
 nreliable, he seems to have appeared out of nowhere.\r\nDavid presents an 
 irresistible lure for both Andy and Peter and complicates the dynamics of 
 their lifelong friendship. When the group learns that a diamond necklace, 
 stolen fifty years ago, might still be somewhere on the manor grounds, the
  Game—half treasure hunt, half friendly deception—begins. But the Game
  becomes much bigger than the necklace, growing to encompass years of secr
 ets, lies, and, ultimately, one terrible betrayal.\r\nMeticulously plotted
  and gorgeously written, Before the Ruins is a page-turner of the highes
 t order about the sealed-off places in our pasts and the parts of ourselve
 s waiting to be retrieved from them. \r\n
