DEEPER THAN THE DEAD

Title: Deeper than the Dead
Author: Tami Hoag
Rating: 7

Taking place in 1985, before DNA and looking up data on a computer, four 12-year-olds were running through the woods when one boy fell and landed on a dead body. The rest of the book is about the children dealing with the experience and the police trying to track down the killer, with the help of an FBI investigator. It was a pretty good book but more gorey than I like.

SAVING CEE CEE HONEYCUTT

Title: Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt
Author: Beth Hoffman
Jan's Rating: 7

This is a first book for this author and I enjoyed it, though it is different from what I usually read. It was light and entertaining so a nice change from the serious mysteries I usually read. It is the story of a 12-year old girl whose life changes drastically during one summer. Cee Cee is in charge of caring for her psychotic Mother until something terrible happens, then your heart will go out to Cee Cee and you will want to take her into your home. It is a sad but sweet story.
