This mystery/thriller for high school readers is told through the voice of Kayla in letters to her best friend Lainie.  Kayla met Lainie during summer camp and they became instant best friends. During that time, Lainie starts an on again/off again relationship with Jackson that Kayla tries to accept.  The letters are a way for Kayla to cope with a murder that occurs at the end of their summer camp experience.   Police reports, camper interviews and newspaper articles round out Kayla’s letters providing much needed breaks to the intense, personal verbiage.    Secrets, obsessions and murder go hand in hand, as does a few twists in the story line.  An enjoyable psychological thriller.
