West Hall, Vermont is a small town with old legends. The most popular is that of Sara Harrison Shea who was found dead and skinned shortly after the death of her daughter, Gertie. Legend says that Sara roams the streets of the town.
Ruthie currently lives in West Hall, in the same house that Sara Shea lived in. She doesn't believe the legends until she finds a copy of Sara's diary hidden in the house. Ruthie's mother has gone missing and it is up to her and her little sister, Fawn, to find her. What Ruthie and Fawn discover is far more gruesome than what they expected.
The story alternates time periods between the present and Ruthie's story and the past and Sara's story. I found that it flowed really well, though, and McMahon kept me turning page after page. Definitely 2 thumbs up and my first 5 star read of the year.
