A fast-paced thriller for teen readers that relies heavily on their ability to ignore the obvious.
Everyone in the area has heard the legend of Fairport. Home to the brutal killing of Nicolas Blackmore at the hands of his mother, the town has remained deserted as people are convinced the ghost of Mrs Blackmore haunts anyone who dares to set foot inside. Over the years a number of students have met grisly deaths, and now there’s talk of a new resort being built on the area the senior students are determined to visit one last time.
Unfortunately, one ends up dead and then those close to him are convinced they’re being haunted. A second death and things start to seem more suspicious. Could there be someone else using the rumours to hide their nefarious deeds?
Of course there is.
We have a range of suspects…and we’re not given their identity until the last possible minute. Aside from thinking they are crazy to do what they do, this was entertaining though not necessarily memorable.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this before publication. If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would.
