I'm not usually a fan of male bonding/coming of age stories but I picked this up anyway because it was set in Brilliant, Ohio, near my hometown around the time I grew up. I wasn't expecting anything more than a trip down memory lane following teenaged Mitchell as he helped his high school bud Travis unravel the story behind his mom's apparent drowning. Well, I got that plus much, much more - I don't want to risk a spoiler but WOW! what a surprise there at the end. And I just loved the play on words in the title. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Amanda Baron died in a boating accident on the Ohio River in 1953. Or, did she? While it was generally accepted that she had died when a coal barge rammed the pleasure boat she was sharing with her lover, her body was never found. Travis Baron was an infant when his mother disappeared. After the accident and the subsequent publicity, Travis's father scoured the house of all evidence that Amanda Baron had ever lived, and her name was never to be uttered around him. Now in high school, Travis yearns to know more about his mother. With the help of his best friend, Mitch Malone, Travis begins a search for the truth about the mother he never knew. The two boys find an unlikely ally: an alcoholic former detective who served time for falsifying evidence. Although his reputation is in tatters, the information the detective provides about the death of Amanda Baron is indisputable--and dangerous. Nearly two decades after her death, Travis and Mitch piece together a puzzle lost to the dark waters of the Ohio River. They know how Amanda Baron died, and why. Now what do they do with the information?"--
"In the summer of 1967, Travis Baron and his best friend begin to unravel a mystery almost two decades old about the death of Amanda Baron-the mother that Travis never knew"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Set in 1971 in small town Ohio, it follows two best friends through their final years in high school. Part high school life, but mostly investigating the mysterious death of one friend's mother twenty years prior. The investigation and timeline are both believable. Well worth the read. ( )
