Beschreibung des Verlags
Gaia Gill is the last person in the world anyone would expect to go missing. Beautiful, athletic, and recently accepted to a prestigious college, she has everything to look forward to—but the night of her going-away party at the Moon Mountain ski resort, she disappears.
Gaia’s younger sister Esme is supposed to be flying back to England with her family after the party, but she can’t leave with Gaia missing—especially because nobody remembers Gaia leaving the party. Or if they do, they’re not saying. Everyone at the lodge has their own secrets: the little rich girl, the ex-boyfriend, the ski instructor, the failed reality star.
Esme’s out of her depth searching the dark, dangerous forests and icy slopes of Moon Mountain, until she teams up with a local boy who promises to help her. The clock is ticking, and it’s down to Esme to piece the clues together and work out who—if anybody—is telling the truth.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A teenager's half-sister goes missing during a family trip to a ski resort in this riveting mystery by McKay (The Assassin Game). Almost-16-year-old British Esme Gill and her parents are vacationing at the Moon Mountain Resort in New Hampshire, where her 19-year-old sister Gaia has been working. Chaos ensues at the resort when Gaia disappears the day after she and Esme attend a party. Because of her dyspraxia, Esme has difficulty remembering where and with whom she last saw Gaia: "Time, dates, names—it's all a mash-up," she says of her diagnosis. As authorities search for Gaia, Esme embarks on her own investigation, along the way befriending Bode, a local boy whose uncle works at the resort. But as she delves deeper into her sister's disappearance, Esme unearths new-to-her secrets about Gaia and learns that everyone at the resort might have something to hide—even Bode. While the resolution feels convoluted, there's no shortage of possible suspects with varying motives for Esme to puzzle through, leading to a packed-to-the-gills mystery laden with surprises. Esme's tenacity and her whip-smart first-person perspective is the driving force behind this stimulating thriller. Most characters are white; Gaia is biracial (Black and white). Ages 12–17.
