Five Days of the Ghost (2015)
“By the time we got to it the pasta was dry and hard and tasteless. On the table was a note telling us she had gone to Barrie with some friends and she’d be back later.
After supper John went to call on Noah. They were going to work in the library until it closed, to find out more about the murder in our house.
I went into John’s room and got his pack. I knew it would be hanging on the back of his closet door like it always was. When I opened it I saw that he had all the stuff in there—f...lashlights, knife, bug lotion—ready for another trip to Chiefs’ Island. I stuffed my wool sweater into it, strapped it up and headed for the boathouse. I had decided not to take any of Noah’s stuff—the camera or voice recorder or the big wooden cross. I had no use for all that.
