The Reappearance of Rachel Price
Lights. Camera. Lies. For eighteen-year-old Bel Price, life has always been defined by one question: what happened to her mother? Sixteen years ago, Rachel Price vanished without a trace. Bel was the only witness — but she remembers nothing. The world has long presumed Rachel dead, and Bel just wants the whispers, the speculation, and the pity to stop. Then her family agrees to participate in a true-crime documentary. Bel counts down the days until filming ends — until the past can be buried again. But the impossible happens. Rachel Price comes back. Alive. With a story so shocking it almost sounds rehearsed. A story Bel isn’t sure she believes. Because if her mother is lying, then where has she really been? And why return now? With cameras still rolling and secrets unraveling, Bel must uncover the truth about the night her mother disappeared. Because sometimes the most dangerous stranger is the one who shares your last name.
About Author
Holly Jackson has revitalized the young adult mystery genre with her intricately plotted, contemporary thrillers that combine authentic teen voices with sophisticated crime storytelling. Her debut 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' launched an international phenomenon, spending years on bestseller lists and inspiring a television adaptation, while introducing protagonist Pip Fitz-Amobi who uses modern technology and true crime podcast techniques to solve cold cases. Jackson's background in English literature and linguistics informs her careful plotting and character development, with each novel featuring maps, transcripts, and multimedia elements that enhance the investigative narrative. The subsequent books in her trilogy—'Good Girl, Bad Blood' and 'As Good as Dead'—maintain the high stakes while exploring darker themes as her protagonist becomes increasingly entangled in the crimes she investigates. Jackson's success demonstrates the ongoing appeal of clever, puzzle-box mysteries for teen readers and her ability to modernize classic detective fiction structures for the digital age.
