Tree House Down Sean Patrick Brennan

Seventeen years after a young girl was found murdered, her accused killer has returned to the scene of the crime: the cute, one-traffic-light village of Ludlow in the Green Mountains of Vermont. A "multigenerational family saga with a murder-mystery twist" (Newsday), "Tree House Down" explores how this singular event has affected the accused and his family over time, and the moral implications involved for those who know much more than they've ever let on. A small tree house takes center stage, and seems to hold the secrets to solving the mystery of Kerry Ann Jefferson's death once and for all. Oozing suspense, the pace quickens throughout the book, as shamanic drum circles, a near-death experience, and spirits of the terrible past pepper an often-otherworldly plot that dares you to ever stop reading. Adding another layer of fascinating nuance to the story, the nine main characters are based on the nine personality types of the Enneagram.
