A woman's past and present collide with unexpected results in this hauntingly beautiful debut novel set in rural Vermont.
Forty-one-year-old school nurse Kate Cypher has returned home to rural Vermont to care for her mother who's afflicted with Alzheimer's. On the night she arrives, a young girl is murdered–a horrific crime that eerily mirrors another from Kate's childhood. Three decades earlier, her dirt-poor friend Del–shunned and derided by classmates as "Potato Girl" –was brutally slain. Del's killer was never found, while the victim has since achieved immortality in local legends and ghost stories. Now, as this new murder investigation draws Kate irresistibly in, her past and present collide in terrifying, unexpected ways. Because nothing is quite what it seems . . . and the grim specters of her youth are far from forgotten.
More than just a murder mystery, Jennifer McMahon's extraordinary debut novel, Promise Not to Tell, is a story of friendship and family, devotion and betrayal–tautly written, deeply insightful, beautifully evocative, and utterly unforgettable.

Ahh! Great Book!

I enjoyed this book with its odd twists and turns. Kate the voice in this story, moves to a new place and is new in a school. She is a child living in a hippy commune. She is so different from her schoolmates they ignore her. There is one very odd girl who is scruffy, unkempt, smelly who is the one everyone picks on. Kate follows her home to a rugged old farm and meets Del. A very rough beginning to their eventual friendship begins with Del doing all sorts of things to test the boundaries of Kate. Tragic events in this book. The author does not use graphic details, just suspense.
There is a lot of betrayal, secrets and hints of sex abuse in the story. Only in the last few chapters the numerous happenings begin to fall into place but leaving all blame in the wrong place
I had Libby's story with her girlfriend Abby on my mind reading it. There is a man waiting for trial in this murder at the moment. There is a great deal of question as to if they have the wrong guy.I am wondering if Libby's story will have unexpected results and if truth and fiction will deliver them;
