When Olivia Grant, a foreign exchange student from the U.K., is stabbed to death in her new BFF's bedroom during a unsupervised Halloween party, the whole town of Port Gamble is shocked. Accusations start flying about both her BFF Brianna and her exchange sponsor, Beth. Twins Taylor and Hayley Ryan want to help their friend Beth and find out what really happened to Olivia. Taylor and Hayley's secret talent for seeing what others can't will help them find the truth. Their involuntary involvement from a long ago town tragedy will put them in danger.
The newest in the Empty Coffin series, this novel is based on the Amanda Knox case which is still making headlines. Even though this is a YA novel, I would recommend it for anyone. The characters of Taylor and Hayley are particularly interesting to me. The details of their lives and their parent's lives are coming out bit by bit in each novel, and that makes me just want more. I'm looking forward to his next novel.

Nancy Drew Ghost Stories / Carolyn Keene 151 p.
Nancy Drew, assisted by her long-standing friends Bess Marven and George Fayne, find themselves face to face with ghosts-- a bunch of ghosts -- in this ghostly short story collection. My favorite is The Curse of the Frog. Fortune teller Madame Zurga scares her patrons with the Frog Curse. Unbeknown to Ms. Lammar, she is sitting on a fortune-- pirates' loot. Her uncle leaves a strange request in his will and it takes Nancy to figure it out.
