Forget Me
K.A. Harrington. Putnam, $17.99 (288p) ISBN 978-0-399-16529-0
Harrington (The Dead and Buried) unfurls another gripping whodunit that will keep readers guessing. After Morgan Tulley’s brooding boyfriend is killed in a hit-and-run accident, she wants answers. Why was Flynn standing alone outside an abandoned amusement park that night? Why did he suddenly break up with her just before he died? And why did his death seem so intentional? Three months later, when Morgan uploads Flynn’s photo to a social media site as a tribute, she finds an image of Evan, a boy from a neighboring town who is a dead ringer for Flynn. Morgan enlists the help of her best friend Toni and, eventually, Evan to get to the bottom of the mystery. Thanks to Harrington’s ability to weave suspenseful yet believable stories full of hidden clues and false leads, what the teenagers uncover about Flynn’s death goes beyond what most readers will see coming. As in her previous novels, Harrington’s fully defined characters and vivid settings set the stage for a riveting read. Ages 12–up. [em]Agent: Scott Miller, Trident Media Group. (Aug.)
