…Emily Arsenault's In Search of the Rose Notes just made The Wall Street Journal's Best Mystery Novels of 2011. "The genre, of course, may well spill into literature, exploring the violent mysteries of human life. Emily Arsenault's absorbing second book, "In Search of the Rose Notes," is at least as much a novel as a detective story, flashing back and forth in time as two young women in 2006 seek answers to the 1990 disappearance of their teenage babysitter. As in her idiosyncratic debut, "The Broken Teaglass," Ms. Arsenault here reveals strange truths beneath everyday surfaces and shows that truth sometimes isn't all that strange."
