Mister Death's Blue-Eyed Girls

Mister Death's Blue-Eyed Girls

Based on an actual crime in 1955, this YA novel is at once a mystery and a coming-of-age story. The brutal murder of two teenage girls on the last day of Nora Cunninghamâ€™s junior year in high school throws Nora into turmoil. Her certaintiesâ€”friendships, religion, her prudence, her resolve to find a boyfriend taller than she isâ€”are shaken or cast off altogether. Most people in Elmgrove, Maryland, share the comforting conviction that Buddy Novak, who had every reason to want his ex-girlfriend dead, is responsible for the killings. Nora agrees at first, then begins to doubt Buddyâ€™s guilt, and finally comes to believe him innocentâ€”the lone dissenting voice in Elmgrove. Told from several different perspectives, including that of the murderer, Mister Deathâ€™s Blue-Eyed Girls is a suspenseful page-turner with a powerful human drama at its core.
