"In a tiny Virginia town, the body of a teenage girl is discovered in an abandoned house. Detective Amanda Steele...." Nope! No more novels where the main character is unimaginatively named 'Steele' or 'Stone' for fuck's sake. Get a clue! Yawn. And it's an abandoned house! If a body wants to be in there, let it, I say! I think Arnold wrote this for her own Benediction....
