      «Tutto quello che si rompe, comprese le persone, si può aggiustare. Ecco come la penso io.» A diciassette anni, Charlotte Davis ha trovato un modo per affrontare il dolore che la attanaglia. Per sfuggire ai ricordi del padre scomparso, della migliore amica che l'ha abbandonata e di una madre che non la comprende, Charlie usa un pezzo di vetro per autolesionismo, trovando un effimero sollievo. Ricoverata in un istituto psichiatrico di St. Paul, Minnesota, incontra altre ragazze, ognuna con il proprio dolore e le proprie paure. In questo microcosmo, si prendono in giro, si raccontano e immaginano un futuro, mentre alcune desiderano uscire e altre preferiscono restare protette. Al momento delle dimissioni, Charlie si sente persa, poiché la madre non la vuole a casa. Si dirige allora in Arizona, dove un amico la aspetta, sperando di ritrovare la gioia e nuovi progetti. Un lavoro in una tavola calda e incontri inaspettati le offrono una nuova linfa vitale, ma il suo entusiasmo si scontra con la realtà. Questo romanzo viscerale e onesto esplora l'adolescenza, il coraggio di rialzarsi dopo le cadute e la ricerca di un nuovo inizio, ricordandoci che, nonostante tutto, c'è sempre una strada da riprendere.

    • How do you solve a murder? Follow the lessons of the master—Agatha Christie! Iris and Alice find themselves in the middle of another Castle Cove mystery in the sequel to New York Times bestseller The Agathas, by powerhouse authors Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson. Alice Ogilvie and Iris Adams became the talk of Castle Cove when they cracked the biggest case of the fall: the death of Brooke Donovan. Together, the Agathas put Brooke's killer away for good, and since then things around town have been almost back to normal. Quiet, even. But if Alice and Iris know anything, it's that sometimes quiet is just the calm before the storm. The truth is, Brooke's disappearance wasn't the first mystery to rock Castle Cove, and it won't be the last. So when their school dance at the infamous Levy Castle—the site of film starlet Mona Moody's unsolved death back in the 1940s—is interrupted by a violent assault, Iris and Alice pull out their murder boards and get back to work. To understand the present, sometimes you need to look into the past. And if the Agathas want a chance at solving their new case, that's exactly where they'll need to start digging. Only, what they uncover might very well kill them.
