Suicide Notes From Beautiful Girls

When June’s friend Delia kills herself in a fire, June knows that it wasn’t suicide and believes that Delia was murdered. Searching for the truth, Jane finds that Delia faked her death and lives with people who arrange suicides, and Jane ends up becoming involved with this group and falling prey to Delia’s deranged plans. This psychological mystery, with its many twists, will keep readers guessing until the end—and after. Dealing with murder, friendship, suicide, and death, it would be suitable as a small group novel study or independent reading for grades 10-12. Some social considerations noted; teacher pre-reading recommended.
