Oregon Book Award Finalist

"Henry's latest offering is taut and suspenseful, with a hint of the supernatural. Her clear, lucid prose and well-paced action scenes make for a fast, accessible read with high appeal for both the middle- and high-school crowd. Hand to anyone in search of a page-turner."--Booklist

"Henry delivers a compelling thriller that weaves supernatural elements into a topical tapestry of loss, betrayal, and family drama. A thriller that manages to be both creepy and fun."--Kirkus Reviews

"The book is fairly fast-paced and set up quite a few people who could have committed the murder . . . A great addition to libraries looking for more murder mystery for teens."--School Library Journal
