Hanging By a Thread is about a girl named Clare who moves back to the town of Winston, which was her childhood home (I think. I haven't read it in a while, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact details).

I love a good mystery and I totally love this cover. It was interesting to follow Clare through the story and discover what really happened and who did it, but I figured it all out rather quickly. Not all of it, but a lot of it. I can see how the mystery is woven together though and it was a good st...
