What: Fadeaway Girl isn't the first story about amateur sleuth Emma Graham, but it is the first one I read, and I liked it, so here it is.
Emma Graham is a waitress at a summer hotel, a reporter for the local newspaper, and a sometimes-private-investigator. She's also twelve. She nevertheless finds ample scope for her talents with a series of intertwined crimes that stretch back over twenty years --- three murders, an attempted murder, and a kidnapping.
Opening lines: "We were talking about the kidnapped baby."
You might not like it if: You get confused about the plot because you haven't read the earlier Emma Graham books.
How to get it: Fadeaway Girl is the fourth Emma Graham book. Author Martha Grimes first introduced the character in Hotel Paradise.
Connection to previous Wreckage: Fadeaway Girl was on List #22: A Few of the Best Books I Read in 2012.
