Everyone in town is terrified, and the town gossips are in their glory, with the worst of them pointing fingers at Dee's Gran.
Everyone thought she had eloped,but it turns out she's been murdered. Early one morning, the body of a young girl is found in a clearing on the mountain, and it turns out to be that of a girl Dee was friends with. dee has another gift, as well - one that allows her to see the spirits which wander the mountain. Her grandmother is the village midwife, and Dee uses her gift for comforting people to assist her. When the skeleton of one of Dee's friends is found up in the hills, Dee is brought into the investigation of a serial killer.ġ4-year old Defiance (Dee) lives with her Gran in a small town in Ontario, by Pike's Mountain. Dee is also somewhat pyschic - she can see ghosts, and often has 'feelings' that warn her of things. She's never met her mother and believes her to be a singer in a travelling show. Dee is 14 and lives with her grandmother, who is the village midwife. It's about a 14 year old girl in rural Ontario in around the depression era. I found it a bit too predictable in some places, though - it wasn't too hard to figure out who the killer was, and I guessed about Clarence chapters before it was revealed.
I like this one - it was well written, and I liked the characters.
