Identify suspects, gather clues, navigate puzzles, and solve the mystery in this interactive Choose Your Path thriller.

The secluded cabin resort your parents own won't make any "best destination" lists, but it's the perfect place to spend a summer. There's swimming, fishing, birdwatching-and a steady stream of visitors who, from week to week, pass in and out of your life. Except for Loretta. A regular guest of Cabin 4, Loretta is an avid hiker and a stand-in grandmother to you. So when you find her cabin empty one morning, you know that something's wrong-even if no one else believes you.

Reviews

"My heart was racing as I tried to solve the mystery. It was fun to puzzle out the connections between the characters, and I enjoyed making my own decisions about what to do at important moments in the book. Should I read someone's journal or not? Do I choose danger or logic? How much should I risk? The setting and characters seemed serene, but under that calm facade, there was danger, intrigue, and controversy. I carefully gathered the hints and clues left by the author and had so much fun solving the crime. Good news: I only died a few times!"
-Christy Gove, author of Maggie the One-Eyed Peregrine Falcon
