Echoes of a Girl

By Jess McQuaid

Book Overview

In the small, lakeside Adirondack town of Bellegrave, New York, the dead hold dangerous secrets, and only Dr. Della James can speak to them.

As director of the Bellegrave Historical Society, Della's biggest concern is the annual fundraiser and gala for Founder's Day, which keeps the society's living history museum operating. So when her best friend Detective Carmen Neil asks her to investigate the whereabouts of a girl who disappeared twenty-seven years ago, Della only agrees to help by accompanying Carmen to the girl's childhood home to see if she can communicate with her spirit.

Only to discover the girl is not among the dead.

Troubled by what she experienced, Della can't stop herself from looking into the girl's disappearance. Her search only uncovers a tangled web of curious incidents including the death of a beloved teacher in a disturbing automobile accident shortly before the girl disappeared. But when the ghost of the teacher appears before Della with a warning that her death was no accident, Della has no choice but to discover the truth about what happened twenty-seven years ago.

Battling with the traumatic memories of her past and a marriage on the brink, Della struggles to push forward in a case that leads her to pry into the lives of some of the small town's most revered citizens. But even as doors are slammed in her face and people refuse to talk, Della will soon discover the dead aren't the only thing best left buried.
