So when she discovers Karen's lifeless body in the river, Ronnie is compelled to uncover the truth and solve her murder. As she becomes increasingly obsessed with solving the mystery of Karen's death, Ronnie is led deeper and deeper into the woods surrounding the river and to the dark secret hidden within its midst.

Praise for Dark River…
* "Insightful and often surprisingly funny...the story is really about Ronnie, and she feels entirely real. Compelling."
-Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Atmosphere is the name of the game here, and Beaufrand brings it generously... With its blend of richly realistic character and slightly uncanny ambiance, this will be a favorite with fans of mysteries that tug the heartstrings."
-BCCB
"An engaging mystery...the story's real strength and beauty come from the healing nature of family and unexpected friendships."
-School Library Journal
