An instant New York Times and Indie bestseller!From the bestselling author of the Truly Devious books, Maureen Johnson, comes a new standalone YA about a teen who uncovers a mystery while working as a tour guide on an island and must solve it before history repeats itself, now available in paperback.The fire wasnt Marlowe Wexlers fault. Dates should be hot, but not hot enough to warrant literal firefighters. Akilah, the girl Marlowe has been in love with for years, will never go out with her again. No one dates an accidental arsonist.With her housesitting career up in flames, it seems the universe owes Marlowe a new summer job, and thats how she ends up at Morning House, a mansion built on an island in the 1920s and abandoned shortly thereafter. Its easy enough, giving tours. Low risk of fire. High chance of getting bored talking about stained glass and nut cutlets and Prohibition.Oh, and the deaths. Did anyone mention the deaths?Maybe this job isnt such a gift after all. Morning House has a horrific secret thats been buried for decades, and now the person who brought her here is missing.All it takes is one clue to set off a catastrophic chain of events. One small detail, just like a spark, could burn it all downif someone doesnt bury Marlowe first. Chicago Public Library Best Teen Fiction 2024 Horn Book Fanfare 2024 Booklist Edgar Award Nominee
