Stay Dead. Who doesn't want to read a book with THAT as the title?!? The latest release by murder mystery writer April Henry is exactly what you would expect from her; a page turning book with strong girl characters, twists and turns, and a few people getting killed, of course! Stay Dead is the story of Milan, daughter of two politician parents, both of whom are victims of suspicious deaths, one not long after the other. Milan isn't aware of any connections between the two, except for her painful losses, until she is suddenly the one being hunted. The hunter is also a strong female character, which gives this book a cool twist - one of many.
One part Hatchet (surviving in the wilderness), one part Hoot (environmental destruction needing to be corrected), and all April Henry equals a very good story! If you've ever read Henry's books, you'll know exactly what you're in for. If you haven't, this is as good a place to start as any. Her writing won't blow you out of the water, but I guarantee you won't be able to put this down (and if you do, you'll be thinking about when you can pick it up again)! Not a 5 paw book, but Henry is almost always a strong 4 paws!
