Jade and her family have moved from farm country in Massachusetts into rich suburbia and Jade does wonder why her family suddenly could afford the new home, but she doesn't ask. She is dismayed, to say the least, to learn that the house was so cheap because a young girl, Kayla, was murdered in it the year before. Turns out Kayla is still around and is determined I find out who killed her, and threatens Jade's little brother's life, so that Jade will bring the killer to light. The problem is, while Jade was the queen of the school, mostly everyone hated and feared her. There's a long line of suspects and Jade is dealing with step-family life an romance and ghosts of her own as she goes about her detective work. The book doesn't go into a lot of character depth, which is something I do enjoy, but sometimes you need a book like this, to take your mind off of the world and draw you in to a good, old-fashioned, scary ghost story. It will be easy to recommend and it will be well received, I bet.
