About this ebook
A teen sleuth "unravels the truth behind her doppelgänger cousin's tragic demise" in a "moody" young adult mystery with "truly devious" characters ( Kirkus Reviews).
Sixteen-year-old Jess Tennant has never met any of her relatives, until her mom suddenly drags her out of London to spend the summer in the tiny English town where her family's from. Her mom's decision is surprising, but even more surprising is the town's reaction to Jess. Everywhere she goes, people look at her like they've seen a ghost. In a way, they have—she looks just like her cousin Freya, who died shortly before Jess came to town.
Jess immediately feels a strange connection to Freya, whom she never got to meet alive. But the more Jess learns about the secrets Freya was keeping while she was alive, the more suspicious Freya's death starts to look. One thing is for sure: this will be anything but the safe, boring summer in the country Jess was expecting.
Beloved author Jane Casey breaks new ground with How to Fall, a thrilling and insightfully written mystery.
"Readers who have outgrown Nancy Drew . . . will enjoy this female-driven whodunit." — School Library Journal
"[A] fast-paced thriller." — Publishers Weekly
