A haunting mystery, romance in the vein of The Lovely Bones by New York Times bestselling author.
"The yard of this house is a graveyard of moments and everything left behind is a clue. And I am here to dig."
There's a ghost haunting 208 Water Street. She doesn't know who she was, or why she's still here. She does know that she is drawn to Maggie, the new girl in town, and her friends - beautiful, carefree Pauline and Liam, the boy who loves her.
But the ghost isn't all that's lurking in Gill Creek... Someone is killing young girls all across the county. Can the ghost keep these three friends safe? Or does she have another purpose?

Friendship, first love – and letting go
Like Anderson’s Tiger Lily (which I loved), this is slower and more emotionally-deft than many YA novels, and takes its time to let us get to know the characters. It’s a story of friendship, of first love, of letting go, and while there is a love triangle, it isn’t treated in a brash or derivative fashion.
While there is a background of murder, this isn’t a crime novel – the characters don’t play detective, simply live out their lives against the menace and suspicions.
So this is a subtle and, eventually, moving book. Anderson has definitely been added to my ‘must-read’ list.
