The Night in Question
by Kathleen Glasgow
****NEW****
On the night of Castle Cove High's annual Sadie Hawkins dance, Alice takes the opportunity to explore Levy Castle--the site of one of Castle Cove's most infamous deaths. Mona Moody--the classic film star--died there almost a century ago, and Alice is pretty sure the police got that investigation wrong, too. But before she can even think about digging deeper, she walks right into the scene of a new crime. Rebecca Kennedy, on the ground in a pool of blood. And standing over Kennedy? Another one of Alice's ex-friends--Helen Park.
Castle Cove is full of secrets, and Alice and Iris are about to uncover one of its biggest--and most dangerous--secrets of all.
