For fans of Gillian Flynn, Caroline Cooney, and R.L. Stine comes Shadowmaker from four-time Edgar Allen Poe Young Adult Mystery Award winner Joan Lowery Nixon. When Katie Gillian and her mother move from Houston to a small Texas town, they never imagine that violence and intrigue will interrupt their six-month stay. Could the two bodies found have anything to do with the newspaper articles Katie's reporter mother is writing - or with the shadowy figures Katie has noticed lurking outside her house at night? "Strong female characters[,] ... affecting and fast-paced, this mystery delivers." -Publishers Weekly "Nixon deftly weaves the ordinary difficulties of a new kid in school into a suspenseful mystery ... [and her] characters are interestingly complicated." -BOOKLIST "[A] smoothly knit novel." -Kirkus Reviews
