Synopsis
A stunning literary thriller set in rural Vermont from the much praised author ofNightswimmer and Clara's Heart
Once a major reporter for a national newspaper, Catherine Winslow has retreated to the Upper Valley of Vermont to write a household hints column. While out walking during an early spring thaw, Catherine discovers the body of a woman leaning against an apple tree near her house. From the corpse's pink parka, Winslow recognizes her as the latest victim of a serial killer, a woman reported missing weeks before during a blizzard.
When her neighbor, a forensic psychiatrist, is pulled into the investigation, Catherine begins to discover some unexpected connections to the serial murders. One is that the murders might be based on a rare unfinished Wilkie Collins novel that is missing from her personal library. The other is her much younger lover from her failed affair has unexpectedly resurfaced and is trying to maneuver his way back into her affections.
Elegant, haunting and profoundly gripping, Cloudland is an ingenious psychological trap baited with murder, deception and the intricacies of desire.

Review
"Joseph Olshan has stepped up and hit one for the home team. The bracing clarity of his prose...observes the destructive impact [the] killings have on this isolated region." Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review "Evocative... the intricate whodunnit has faint echoes of [Wilkie] Collins with Catherine in the role of his Woman In White, wandering desolate hills, but not trying nearly hard enough to escape her past." --The Boston Globe
