Sycamore by Bryn Chancellor
4.5
4.5 stars
Teenager Jess Winters goes out on a walk in 1991, and she never comes home. I loved how this novel got into the hearts and minds of so many characters of small town Sycamore, Arizona. Jess is struggling as a newcomer, with her father leaving the family and starting a new family. Jess's mother Maude is depressed. The characters in this story are multi-dimensional and fascinating.
Fast forward to many years later, and professor Laura stumbles upon what might be the remains of Jess.
This novel gives me THE ROAD TO DALTON vibes but with more mystery. If you like character-driven mysteries, this one will likely scratch that itch for you.
