Seeing Dead



Seeing Dead
By Edgar D Jackson
Genre:-Sci-Fi/Mystery/Crime
Pages:-644
Publisher:-IolandaPress
Blurb:-The street in Gealblath, Scotland, was the same as it had been every day. None of the players had changed. None of the scenery. It was like a painting on a wall.
 And there, where the path began to dip, the school bus arrived at the place it normally arrived. It would be there for two minutes only, and so Charlie began to jog. He spotted his friend sitting near the rear window and an empty seat beside him.
 The fact there remained an empty seat soon, became a fact that haunted the town he lived in.
It was on a foggy day in 1988 that Charlie Cooper made his way to the school bus for the last time.
 Ten years have passed since then, and what remains is a town faded by missing person posters. An empty seat in local police station. A father who has become an unwanted ghost, sipping cold ones in the corner of woodland tavern. And, apart from that, there is a girl. Amee Florence is thirteen, with mousy grey hair and a cool, pale complexion. She's starting here first day at school, but she's nothing like the other children. There's a secret behind her eyes that she keeps hidden. A secret that could help unfog that day in 1988, and reveal the real reason Charlie Cooper never came home.

My Review:-I just want to say don't let the 644 pages put you off, just keep reading and you won't be disappointed.
 This book has a bit of everything...mystery, sci-fi, horror, secrets, lies and even some humour. Charlie Cooper seen the school bus pull up, he knew he only had two minutes to get on the bus before it would pull away. His friend was sitting near the rear window next to an empty seat (something for you to remember). Ten years later and nothing has changed since that day Charlie disappeared. 13 year old Amee Florence is a new girl at school, but Amee isn't like any of the other girls at school, she has a secret. Will Amee's secret help solve the disappearance of Charlie on that day in 1988, does she know something that someone is hidden? Is what happened still got something to do with someone that lives near by?  It's a book that I really want to tell you more about but I don't want to give anything away. I had to read it in a few sittings, but putting it down wasn't easy and had me thinking even when I wasn't reading it.
