Thriller Paranormal - Supernatural | Women's Fiction
With the inventiveness and emotional power of Promise Not to
Tell, The Death of Bees, and After Her, a powerful literary
debut about family and friendship, good and evil, grief and
forgiveness. He is not evil. I am not good. We are the same: broken and put back together again. Still grieving the sudden death of their mother, Sam and her
younger sister Ollie McAlister move from the comforts of
Eugene to rural Oregon to live in a meadow in a teepee under
the stars with Bear, their beekeeper father. But soon after
they arrive, a young woman is found dead floating in Crooked
River, and the police arrest their eccentric father for the
murder. Fifteen-year-old Sam knows that Bear is not a killer, even
though the evidence points to his guilt. Unwilling to accept
that her father could have hurt anyone, Sam embarks on a
desperate hunt to save him and keep her damaged family together. I see things no one else does. I see them there and wish I didn’t. I want to tell and can’t. Ollie, too, knows that Bear is innocent. The Shimmering have
told her so. One followed her home from her mom’s funeral
and refuses to leave. Now, another is following Sam. Both
spirits warn Ollie: the real killer is out there, closer and
more dangerous than either girl can imagine. Told in Sam and Ollie’s vibrant voices, Crooked River is a
family story, a coming of age story, a ghost story, and a
psychological mystery that will touch reader’s hearts and
keep them gripped until the final thrilling page.
