Part mystery-thriller and part ghost story: In the fall of 2002, 41-year-old Kate Cypher, a returns to New Hope, the decaying Vermont hippie commune where she grew up, to visit her elderly mother, Jean, who's suffering from Alzheimer's. Kate has avoided New Hope since the grizzly, unsolved murder of her fifth-grade friend, Del Griswold, 31 years earlier. Kate fears she betrayed Del, a free-spirited farm girl. Did her betrayal cause Del's death? Who killed Del? Another local girl is murdered in a similar manner at the time of Kate's return. Could the killer be loose again? Meanwhile, Jean appears to be possessed with Del's spirit and may have the answers to these questions. As Kate investigates, she learns stunning truths about many events and people from her youth.
Sounds spooky and good...I look forward. I'll let you know.
Update: Okay, so I finished Promise Not To Tell by Jennifer McMahon. I really liked it. It was a fast read, a good mystery/ghost story without being too cheesy and didn't go too far off base in it's "who done it-ness". I would certainly give this author another go and would recommend it/her to others. Maggie bought the book to take on her Belize trip and I'll be curious to see how it fares for her.
