The letters are addressed to Flora Halloran. Flora Halloran drowned in 1966. The newest one is postmarked this March. June is the easy kid - the one who keeps the peace, asks no questions, and gets handed the family's tidy stories like heirlooms. Then she inherits her great-aunt's house. And finds a false wall in the sewing room, papered floor to ceiling in envelopes: sixty years of letters to her family's most famous ghost, all signed S. The only person who believes her is Marcus Bell - the boy next door whose grandmother took the blame for Flora's death and never stopped paying for it. Together they start pulling the thread: an empty burial plot. A postmistress who kept sixty years of secrets for pie. And postmarks that have been creeping closer, year over year, for the last three. Every family has a story it tells instead of the truth. June is about to find out what hers cost - and who's still paying. Perfect for readers who love: Cold cases that won't stay buriedSmall towns with long memoriesAmateur sleuth heroinesInvestigating-partners-to-something-moreFamily secrets that go back generations A twisty, heart-clenching mystery. Book One of the June Halloran Mysteries. Ages 14+.
