The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting


What a mystery!  This novel tells the story of a girl with a 'sixth sense' for being able to find bodies, and also their killers.  Violet is able to pick up a sense (auditory, visual, feeling) from the body and detect an imprint of it on the killer.  So when girls start to go missing around her, Violet's senses kick into overdrive.  She finds one girl in the water while she is at a beach party.  Girls are going missing at an increasingly alarming rate in the towns surrounding hers and then from right in front of her nose.  Even with a killer on the loose, Violet puts herself in danger  trying to find out more information about the girls and their killer.  This book is suitable for more mature YA readers.  It contains some bad language and a few near scandalous scenes.  It is a really good story though!  There is also a love story intertwined in here, one strong enough to remind you of first loves, and powerful enough to make you relive heartbreak.
