Purchase options and add-ons

The Stone Girl is a riveting tale of deception, vengeance, and power set against the haunting beauty of the Adirondack wilderness.

Deep in the Adirondack Mountains lies a speck of a town called Rangeley. There isn’t much to this tiny town, but it is at the crossroads of serene fishing streams off the Mink River, pristine hunting grounds in the surrounding mountains, and vast estates of the extremely rich. It is also the gateway to the Mohawk Club, which houses the Lost Boys, an exclusive group of wealthy and powerful men with global influence and a taste for depravity.

Raised wild and poor in the shadows of the Mohawk Club, Evie Quimby was a teenager when she first fell victim to the Lost Boys. Seventeen years later, she is now a world-renowned art restorer famous for repairing even the most-broken statues. After spending half her life in Paris, establishing her reputation and raising her daughter Chloé, Evie has come a long way from the girl who left Rangeley behind. But when Chloé receives a visit from an elegant stranger who claims to be an old friend of her mother’s, the ghosts of Evie’s past return in full force, pulling her back to the North Country of her girlhood and into the tangled, intricate web of the Lost Boys. Evie bands together with her formidable mother and an embattled heiress, both victims of the Lost Boys, in pursuit of an unusual and heart-stopping vengeance.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Wittenborn writes seductive prose that juxtaposes the rugged glory of the Adirondacks against the ugly undercurrent of humanity."
Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review

"A sprawling baroque thriller that had me in its grip all the way."
Richard E. Grant, Oscar-nominated actor, Can You Ever Forgive Me?

"In
The Stone Girl, Dirk Wittenborn…tackles Wall Street corruption, sexual assault, and trauma in settings so well-realized you forget it is fiction.…If you were looking to lie down with a baroque thriller, be ready to sit back up; The Stone Girl is quite a ride!"
Mark Anthony Libatique, Avenue Magazine

"Dirk Wittenborn’s vibrant female characters refuse to turn themselves into commodities or victims. Suspenseful, witty, and wise, it is a compelling thriller."
Susanna Moore, author of Miss Aluminum

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2020
I am normally a genre reader but bought this book based on the blurb and was not disappointed. The Stone Girl has a well developed setting, interesting characters and a plot that really moves along. The only negative I could say is it is a bit confusing in the beginning but as the plot picks up steam the pieces from the beginning make sense. Do yourself a favor, read the book and be prepared to have an enjoyable reading experience.

This is a brilliant thriller, freighted with suspense and scarily vivid depictions of evil at work - a gripping story of revenge, complete with characters to hate, characters to love. More that that, it is an evocation of the sickness bred by money and power. .

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
Whether you enjoy this thriller depends on your expectations. It is set mainly in the Adirondacks and concerns a woman, Evie, getting revenge on a man who raped her when she was a teenager. The man is a wealthy billionaire, one of a group of men who prey upon women sexually and financially. The group maintains a members-only hunting resort near the small town where Evie grows up.

Evie has been a victim of bullies all her life. She was subjected to their torments as a girl by male classmates who relentlessly teased her about a large birthmark covering half of her face. The boys calling themselves the Morlocks vandalized property and generally made a nuisance of themselves, but always managed to slip out of formal charges. Evie’s only refuge from them was spending time with her father, Buddy, a rugged outdoorsman who taught her to hunt, shoot, and fish. Flo, her mother, is also a stable influence in Evie’s life but worries that she can’t protect her.

When Evie has a chance encounter with Lulu Mannheim, a wealthy heiress who rescues her from a sticky situation with the Morlocks, she finds she has met a kindred spirit and a mentor. Through Lulu, Evie is granted opportunities she could never imagine. Lulu, a capricious thirty-something rebel, defies society’s rules and lives by her own code of fairness. Lulu helps Evie discover a talent for restoring artwork when she repairs a rare broken statue.
Lulu also becomes the avenue by which Evie is introduced to members of the Mohawk Club, the exclusive resort for billionaires who hunt game. One of the members offers to pay for Evie’s education at a prestigious school. Evie is little prepared for what happens next, which upends her life. The culmination of this part of the story has Evie living in Paris, married to a renowned art restorer, doing restoration work herself, and having a child, Chloe.

The book alternates between an omniscient third-person narrator viewpoint and those of Evie, Flo, and Chloe. While the story contains truly suspenseful scenes, I found my inner voice interrupting me, asking, “how did she do that?” This distraction kept me from altogether buying into what I was reading. Because the storyline is so large, the author compresses much of the story in information dumps.

If you’re in the mood for a revenge thriller where misogynists get their due, you’ll find this book entertaining. It has plot twists, a storyline from Hollywood, and plenty of action. The novel covers years and has a complicated plot. If, however, you’re looking for more nuanced characters, you might find it lacking in substance.

The Stone Girl by Dirk Wittenborn accuses men of their attitudes towards women, from young boys calling them names, to young men taking advantage of them, to their husbands using them. Evie learns at 17 that the opposite sex in her small town is mean, stingy, thoughtless, and untrustworthy and it takes over her whole life. Except for her direct family, father and mother, she can rely on no one.

Lack of credibility in the character's qualities-not realistic; Lost connections to incidents in the plot; antagonist(s) unrealistic vendetta. Reminded me of Nancy Drew, but less engaging, It took me forever to get into the novel with the exposition difficult to follow, at first.
