Title: In the Event of My Death Author: Carlene Thompson type of book: Mystery call number: Fic - place this book on hold -

This book is strong in character and setting.

Summary:
13 years ago, six teenage girls formed a secret group that caused mischief about the city of Wheeling, West Virginia. One night their mischief went a little too far and one of them died. The surviving girls have kept their parts in the death a secret. Now, someone is killing off the remainder of the group.

I might recommend this book.

Why?
I am from the area where this book takes place. Although this is fiction, some aspects of the book are a bit far fetched for the town where they take place. But, this is not why I am unsure if I would recommend this book.

The plot is a decent one, but the author's style of writing doesn't do justice to it.

I would probably only recommend this book to someone from that area who was interested in seeing Wheeling in fiction.
