The Pale Girl Murders Claus Sowalic

She'll kill for her life back ... and already has.




After their father's alleged death, strange things begin to happen in the Stillman home-explosive light bulbs, random alarms, and unexplainable power surges. After deciding to move and start fresh, a little girl named Sophie approaches Charlie Stillman and knows more about the family than the average stranger, knowing family secrets nobody else has heard.



On a breezy June night, at their new neighborhood's annual summer kick-off, everyone celebrates the start of longer days, sunshine, and ice-hold lemonade-until things turn deadly. Vivian Claremen, the town's wealthiest businesswoman, falls dead in plain sight without a scratch or bruise, and everyone is a suspect.



Confused and alarmed, Charlie is enticed by the girl when she hints his father could be alive somewhere. The girl's ghostly pale skin, soft voice, and bright eyes make her seem so innocent. Little does Charlie know Sophie is after her killer, who left her blood-soaked in a roadside lake, and will use anything-and anyone- to get to them...




The Pale Girl Murders is a sharp, eye-opening, and psychologically dark mystery suspense novel, that will appeal to fans of Gillian Flynn and Ruth Ware.
