A note for parents
This YA mystery centers on a high school student investigating a murder case, which involves references to death, violence, and genuine danger to the protagonist. While not graphically depicted, the subject matter—including murder, suicide, and threats—is mature and dark. The story rewards critical thinking, courage, and moral integrity as Pip risks her safety to uncover the truth, and features thoughtful themes about justice and assumptions. Appropriate for older teens interested in mysteries who can handle suspense and darker themes, but not recommended for younger readers or those sensitive to violence.

She knew Sal when she was a child, and he was always so kind to her. How could he possibly have been a killer? Now a senior herself, Pip decides to reexamine the closed case for her final project, at first just to cast doubt on the original investigation. But soon she discovers a trail of dark secrets that might actually prove Sal innocent . . . and the line between past and present begins to blur.
