William Morrow.
Thirteen year old Sylvie Mason has been struggling with her parents' murders for nearly a year. It was a late night in snowy February when her parents received a call and headed out to an old church. Late night calls weren't unusual as her parents helped haunted souls find peace. Sylvie fell asleep waiting for her parents only to be awakened by the sound of gunshots. She is now in the care of her older sister, Rose. Sylvie is in search of what really happened to her parents that fateful night. The story moves back and forth in time as she comes closer to the truth, but in the process she uncovers secrets from her family's past that have haunted them for years.
This is a great book for anyone who likes murder mysteries. Although Searles takes us back and forth in time, it is quite easy to follow along. I would recommend this book for older teens.
Searles does a phenomenal job with the character of Sylvie. She is desperate to find the answers to her parents' murders. This turns this murder mystery into a coming of age novel that will keep you guessing until the conclusion.
