Notes from Ghost Town by Kate Ellison
4.0
Olivia Tithe used to be happy. And then her best friend, Lucas Stern, died, killed by her mother. It doesn't make sense to Olivia: Stern the protégé of Miriam Tithe, who confessed to killing Stern, the lawyer that suddenly left after promising news. Then Olivia went colorblind. Her dad is too focused on his new job as a real estate developer and his upcoming wedding with Heather, whom Olivia dislikes. After a short fling with Austin Moore, the son of Ted Oakley, who works with her dad, she realizes who really is the murderer.
This is a slight murder mystery bordered with realistic fiction. I liked the fact that the author portrayed the struggles of teenage friendships, young love, and the seemingly everlasting grief of losing those you love. Olivia truly believes her mother is innocent no matter what others say. It is this belief that spruns her to find the truth.
