Now, 20 years later, she is returning as the new Latin teacher, only to experience an eerie repeat of those past incidents. ReceptionThe Lake of Dead Languages received mixed reviews. The Boston Globe called it " a gothic and elegant page turner, made more believable by Jane's even and balanced narration,"[2] and The Denver Post's reviewer called it "a book that needs the roar of a fire to ward off its psychic chill."[3] On the other hand, Kirkus Reviews called it "a gothic, unconvincing debut replete with incest, homoeroticism, and murder," and "Trash, despite the highfalutin Latin and classic references—and not very sexy trash at that;" noting "the manufactured logic" of Jane's return to Heart Lake, given her history there.[4]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.crimewritersna.org/hammett/past.htm|title=Past winners |publisher=International Association of Crime Writers/North America|accessdate=13 November 2012}} 2. ^{{cite news |title='Lake' Plunges Readers Into Involving Mystery |work=The Boston Globe |date=17 January 2002 |first=Erica|last=Noonan |page=D3}} 3. ^{{cite news |date=20 January 2002 |work=The Denver Post |page=DD-02 |title=School memories strike a chill |first=Robin|last=Vidimos}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/carol-goodman/the-lake-of-dead-languages/#review |title=The Lake of Dead Languages |work=Kirkus Reviews |date=1 November 2001}} External links
