This is a story about two teenage sisters living in a cult where the people are all brainwashed by a prophet and they believe in polygamy. There is also a global pandemic going on along with a little touch of fantasy splashed in. It's faced paced and held my attention. I recommend this book.

mystery/thriller, suspenseful. it’s a woman’s murder club story with lots of twists.

Out of a job and down on her luck, life doesn’t seem to be getting any better when her estranged father, Brice Campbell, a flamboyant personal injury attorney, shows up at her mother’s funeral after a twenty-year absence.

part of the inspector harry hole series. the book keeps you on the edge of your seat with its intense character driven plot.

It is a nice story because I like to build a Gingerbread House. Ms. Fickle class built a gingerbread house as well, but one piece of the house went missing. In this case, the only thing that I didn't like in this story was that kids were blaming each other about missing snowflake cookie. But finally the mystery was solved and everybody was very happy.
