Rendition Conducive To Books Isabella Moon

“Isabella Moon is a book of secrets and dark miracles. Laura Benedict writes with tender power and understanding, filling the pages with characters whose mysteries and longings will matter to every reader.”
–Luanne Rice, author of The Edge of Winter

Sometimes the past comes looking for you. . . .

Two years ago, in idyllic Carystown, Kentucky, nine-year-old Isabella Moon disappeared on her way home from school. Is it just coincidence that Kate Russell, a young woman with no discernible past, arrived in town just months before Isabella’s disappearance? When Kate walks into Sheriff Bill Delaney’s office to tell him that Isabella’s ghost has led her to the child’s hidden grave, he immediately views her as a suspect. Mystery follows mystery as a local athlete drops dead, inexplicably, on the basketball court, and someone close to Kate is viciously murdered.

Quiet Carystown was to be Kate’s salvation, and she’s settled into a comfortable job, a charming cottage, and a blissful romance. But having lied to her boyfriend, Caleb, for so long about the terrors of her past life, she finds she can’t trust him to understand the terror that Isabella Moon has now brought. And Kate’s best friend, Francie, is too wrapped up in her own troubles–particularly a secret affair with a man she at once loves and despises–to give Kate the help she needs. Utterly alone, Kate is torn between finding justice for the dead child and keeping away old ghosts of her own.

The unsolved disappearance of Isabella Moon has been the biggest disappointment of Sheriff Delaney’s career. But he senses that Kate is trouble. As he investigates her impossible claims, he also uncovers a series of unsettling truths about Carystown itself. Behind his hometown’s genteel façade is a morass of lies and murder, drugs and destruction. And Carystown’s residents are about to discover that even though the past is buried, it can rise again–with a vengeance.

Dark and suspenseful, tense and eerie, tinged with the supernatural, Isabella Moon is an engrossing, beautifully written debut novel, a breathtaking and artful story of the dark mysteries that can lurk in the most bucolic of places–and the ghost of a little girl who watches as evil rises unstoppably to the surface.

Judgment About Books Isabella Moon

When I picked up this book at a thrift store, I was excited -- a literary ghost story/murder mystery ... what's not to love? Unfortunately, I loved nothing. This character-driven story was barely a ghost story, and the crime elements were weak at best. Not much was made of the reveals of the various murderers; they were sort of thrown toward the end of the story, but it didn't really matter because any mystery aficionado could have figured it out about a third of the way through the book. No

How far would you go to escape an abusive husband? Kate Russell changed her identity and moved to Carytown, Kentucky, and was living a quiet, relitively happy life until she was visited be Isabella Moon's ghost. Though it reminded me of Jodi Piccoult's early books, it is entertaining, though far-fetched in many ways. It was a pretty good read.

Happy to be pulling down the curve on this awful novel with my lowly one star rating. How could anyone publish this? Worse still, how in the world did I justify finishing this terrible novel? I'm both puzzled by my actions and ashamed, and heartly sorry to all the wonderful books I could have been reading.

This was similar to a Jodi Picoult book and I love her writing. Also reminded me of "Lovely Bones" and "Sleeping with the Enemy".

Good little mystery: wife hidng from an abusive husband, a little girl's ghost and the gossip of a small town. I enjoyed it.

A little more romance than I usually like in mysteries but I enjoyed this book. Interesting characters and a ghost who seems less spooky than spunky.
