This week on the Butler Bookshelf you will find a dark thriller that is a retelling of Jekyll & Hyde called The Society for Soulless Girls by Laura Steven. One decade ago, four students were murdered at the exclusive Carvell Academy of the Arts and the case has run cold. Steven tells the story of courageous freshman Lottie Fitzwilliam who is intent on investigating the unsolved serial murders that forced the campus to shut down. Now that the Academy has reopened, Lottie’s snobby roommate, Alice Wolfe, bumbles upon another victim when she discovers a clandestine ritual within a Carvell library book. Is the killer still lurking somewhere in the North Tower shadows?
