![]() I thought this was a great murder mystery and recommend it to any reader who would like to read something different from your regular mysteries. ![]() There was some romance (not too much) and a lot of information on how difficult it can be for teens who are deaf in a world where everyone else can hear and and how it makes their struggles growing up even more difficult than a hearing teen and how important it is to continue to have schools for the deaf instead of just mainstreaming those children and letting them have the choice to be with other deaf children like themselves. The characters were likeable, annoying and entertaining with solid backgrounds. The mysteries continued throughout the story with many unexpected twists and turns. This was a very well-written and enjoyable book. ![]() Why is there a dead body when this was supposed to be a missing persons case and Paige is not prepared to be involved in a murder case and whose body is lying in the snow and is the other missing person a suspect or another victim? How is one interpreter going to be handle many so people from the school and will Paige be able to communicate properly back to two detectives and several other police officers before other bodies start turning up? As Paige arrives at the cabins where the students are staying she sees an unusual snow covered lump and realizes it is a dead body. The police have been out to this school before so they arrange to use a deaf interpreter named Paige Northwood who had previously worked with the detectives on another case. A few hours later, Steve and Leon are both missing and everyone is worried and it is now time to call the police. The following morning Leon seems to missing and Steve (dept head) goes out to search for him because he didn't tell anyone he was leaving the cabin and it is now snowing very hard. Not wanting to be seen he creeps back to his bed and sees that his brother is still not back yet. As he leaves his room in search of his brother he sees a light on in the kitchen and wonders why the head of the school has his arm around Leon's (the other boy) shoulder. During the night their are vibrations of people moving about in the cabins and one of the boys noticed that two beds in his cabin are empty and one bed belongs to his older brother. Late in the evening on their first day a light snow begins to fall threatening to become quite heavy by the next morning and the children are feeling anxious and uncertain about what will now happen to their winter retreat unless weather conditions change for the better. Five young teenagers from a school for the deaf along with a caretaker, a social worker and the president of the school have taken this group on a special winter weekend trip to a lovely cabin in the woods with many outdoor activities planned for the excited students.
