Fifteen-year-old twins Hayley and Taylor Ryan live in the small historic town of Port Gamble, WA. Everyone knows everyone and everyone's business, or so they think. When the town is stunned by their former friend and neighbor's Christmas evening death, the twins work to find out if it was truly accidental or a suicide. When they discover that someone was first flirting with her and then dumping her online, something more evil comes to light.
If the storyline sounds familiar, there is a reason. This is the first in a new series using "ripped-from-the-headlines stories" via Law and Order. The local cyber-bullying case of Megan Meier was the inspiration, although this novel strays away from that story. Olsen is a best-selling adult true crime author trying his hand at Young Adult fiction. He's also added a touch of the paranormal with the characters of the twins. They have a connection and sense that goes beyond the traditional twin-sense. They also have a back story that is slowly being revealed. I'm looking forward to the next book.
