Yes, even living girls barely write any letters at all.
Laura got this book from the library based on a list of mysteries recommended for high-schoolers. Henrieta read and liked it, and i decided to give it a try. Well written (though kid-level vocabulary and a smidge of noir cliché); the author feeds you the expected plot twists early and then hits you with the unexpected one at the end. By the end, you've been living this weird nightmare inside Sunny's skin for so long that it's almost impossible not to take her side when the moment to doubt her arrives.
Update: Henrieta and Laura both sided with the grandmother. Maybe i'm soft...
Quotes:
Things had been getting a little better till I got a letter from my dead sister.
That more or less ruined my day.
