The Deadly Daylight by Ash Harrier
5.0
I got this book for free, in exchange for my honest opinion via Holiday House.
When I read the synopsis, I knew that I’d love this book. Alice England, is a twelve year old girl who helps out in her dad’s funeral parlor learning how to apply makeup and the finishing touches to clothing of the deceased. She wants nothing more than to take over the family business, and she’s proud of that. Oh, and Alice can pick up on information of the deceased using personal objects that she places on or with the bodies.
Alice doesn’t share this information with anyone, not even her dad. She also has trouble connecting with her peers. She’s pretty much alone in school, where she’s often picked on. However, this could change when she meets Violet, who turns out is allergic to the sunlight and soon finds herself in the midst of an investigation regarding Violet’s uncle. Alice can’t seem to let it go, as she knows there’s something suspicious about Uncle George’s death, and she’ll go to any length to prove it.
Overall, I adored this book! I devoured it and it’s a perfect middle grade mystery, for any reader.
