Five months after she disappeared, Wendy White's body is found in a ditch just off one of Haeden's main roads. Suddenly, reporter Stacy Flynn has a big story, but no one wants to talk to her in this small upstate New York town. Then fifteen-year-old Alice Piper, an imaginative student with a genius IQ and strong ideals, begins to connect the dots of Wendy's disappearance and death when a second crime rocks the town to its core.

This book has stuck with me for over a decade. Of course, I am never sure how these things will hold up on a re-read, but I feel like this book was prescient on a lot of issues. Strong female lead that is not a Mary Sue, good interweaving of misogyny, roots of social inequality, and the absolute corrosiveness of generational wealth.
