She doesn’t care if she makes it out of her investigation alive, she just wants answers … and revenge.
When Mattie is found dead and her murder goes unsolved due to a lazy and botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to track down her younger sister’s killer. She was doing her best to raise Mattie amidst poverty and very little support, even dropping out of school in order to be a better parent. She’s struggled for years to keep her and her younger sister Mattie’s heads afloat after their mom-who had drug abuse problems-left. Sadie is a 19-year-old with nothing left to lose. It’s the kind of novel that you’re left thinking about for a long time after you close the last page. Sadie is a fascinating and gripping character. It’s on the older end of the YA spectrum, and definitely a YA book that will hold appeal for adults as well.
I am thrilled to get a chance to think and write more about this book for Casey the Canadian Lesbrarian! I’m also excited to report that the book just won the 2019 Edgar Award (for mystery and thriller books) in the YA category. I had already finished reading YA thriller Sadie by Courtney Summers when I looked up the author and realized she was Canadian.
