⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The setting is one of the characters in this wonderful YA mystery. Both the small Alabama town and the swampy wilderness around it are authentically, vividly brought to life. As for the story, Bea Pearl grabs your heart from page one and never lets go. The mystery keeps the pages turning to its satisfying resolution, and there's just the right amount of romance." —Sharon Pegram
