Why did she have to be so goddamn weird? Mikey Warrender's goals are within his grasp. On track for a spectacular swimming career in the last months of his senior year at school, his life seems ideal. A successful Senator father, a pretty, popular sister, and a girlfriend who acts and looks, well, perfect. They've had their share of trouble in the form of Mikey's late twin, but that trouble died with Toby and now things can finally get back on track. Until Alice England. Mikey couldn't have been less interested in a friendless undertaker's daughter who sees strange things and always speaks the truth-until she starts stalking him at school. Alice has reason to believe Tobias Warrender was reluctant to take that fatal dose of crystal meth. What's more, she insists Mikey is grieving for his twin. Curious, Mikey lets Alice in-just for a moment-and before he knows what's happening she's wedged her foot in the door and busted his world wide open. When Mikey is injured and forced to take a break from swimming, Alice leads him through a series of discoveries that make him look more closely at his own carefully constructed reality. Innocent yet knowing, kind yet devastatingly honest, Alice effortlessly unravels Mikey Warrender's falsely safe world-and what really happened to Toby. Strange Truths is a coming of age detective story that will appeal to adults both young and old(er), especially lovers of classical mystery with a twist.
