“Adarkly humorous, rapid-fire read.” —Kirkus Reviews
Stranger Things meets Buffy the Vampire Slayerin this contemporary novel from Francesca Zappia, the acclaimed author of Elizaand Her Monsters
.
When Zora Novak is framedfor a crime she didn’t commit, she must track down the true culprit and clear
her name before it’s too late. But in a small town obsessed with ghosts,
getting people to believe the truth might prove to be impossible.
When someone burns down
the home of the school janitor and he dies in the blaze, everyone in
Addamsville, Indiana, points a finger at Zora. Never mind that Zora has been on
the straight and narrow since her father was thrown in jail. With everyone
looking for evidence against her, her only choice is to uncover the identity of
the real killer.
There’s one big
problem—Zora has no leads. No one does. Addamsville has a history of tragedy,
and thirty years ago a similar string of fires left several townspeople dead.
The arsonist was never caught.
Now, Zora must team up
with her cousin Artemis—an annoying self-proclaimed Addamsville historian—to
clear her name. But with a popular ghost-hunting television show riling up the
townspeople, almost no support from her family and friends, and rumors spinning
out of control, things aren’t looking good. Zora will have to read between the
lines of Addamsville’s ghost stories before she becomes one herself.
