Fifteen-year-old Nicola Johnson moves to an old house in upstate New York with her family. After arrival, Nicola finds a massive desk in her room with a drawer she can't open. At school, her new friend, Carson, tells Nicola that her house is haunted! Local legend says that a teenage girl named Evelyn died there because of a prank by her brothers around 150 years ago. Since then, strange, disturbing things have started happening in the house. Soon, Nicola's porcelain dolls disappear one by one from her room, and another school friend, Lilly, offers to hold a séance with an Ouija board. Do You Know Who Killed Me? by Sara Furlong is a classic ghost story with an unexpected twist.
You will enjoy Sara Furlong's captivating book if you are an avid spooky stories lover like myself. Do You Know Who Killed Me? is a wonderful combination of genres, including family drama, for Nicola dives into the history of Evelyn's family to unlock shocking secrets. Sara lovingly depicts the characters, adding humorous features. Nicola can be clumsy, especially when she's nervous after meeting an attractive guy, and Carson eases the stress by eating snacks. Lilly sometimes is overly chatty, but she pulls herself together to help her friend in danger. Furlong inspires us to be compassionate and masterfully creates the ambiance of a haunted house. The plot startled me with fascinating turns I wasn't expecting, like the name of Evelyn's killer. I recommend it to young adult fans of paranormal fiction, mystery, thriller, and suspense genres.
