The Facts of Life and Death by Belinda Bauer
4.0
I enjoyed this book a lot. Half-way in, I figured out who the killer was, however, it didn't take away from the ending.
Ruby Trick is a young, coming of age girl, who adores her daddy and, at times, despises her mommy for making her daddy mad. Her father lost his job at the shipping yard, which forced her mother to seek work. As most families plagued by financial woes, the Tricks tend to fight over money.
When young women in and around their town are murdered, Ruby's daddy takes it upon himself to form a posse to catch the killer. Ruby wants to ride along, but her daddy is hesitant at first and then relents. Ruby will soon learn about the facts of life and death.
