YaBookRealm | Apr 7, 2009 |   too many coincidences make this a little "clunky" but overall it's a decent teen mystery read. (  )quirkylibrarian | Mar 8, 2009 | Blackthorn Winter was a terrific read. I enjoy Katheryn Reiss's books. They always pack a punch and deliver "The Chills", when reading her stories. I often get goosebumps when recommending them to someone. This story is about a girl whose mother moves them to a small town in England. Her mother is an artist and her father has stayed behind in California. A local artist turns up in the river murdered and Juliana and friends try to investigate the murder and find themselves in the heart of trouble. Suspenseful and chilling, this is a good read!! I would recommend Paperquake too!! (  )frazrat | Aug 27, 2008 | 0.027 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0152054790, Hardcover)The last place fifteen-year-old Juliana wants to be is halfway around the world in Blackthorn, England, an idyllic seaside artists' colony her mother has dragged her off to while her parents weather a trial separation. Juliana misses her father terribly and doesn't understand why her mother needs to travel so far to resurrect her artistic self, which she claims to have lost in the marriage. Soon after they arrive in the tiny village of Blackthorn, the artists' colony is set on its heels by the murder of one of its own. Juliana feels compelled to solve the crime, but she is shocked and frightened when it seems that clues in the matter are hitting a little too close to home. Can she figure out who the murderer is before anyone else--herself included--gets hurt? (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:03 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

I found this book during the time of it's release date (January 2006) through Amazon and I immediately went to the my local library to order a copy. It sounded like an amazing mystery book and I loved that it was set in England. After a good amount of time waiting for the library to make the order and process it, I finally got and read the book in June. As soon as I read it, I remember being engrossed with the novel. It had the whole murder mystery suspense vibe and not to mention Duncan, a very cute red head, English boy as a potential love interest. I highly recommend this book.
