The Friends of Foster Care

Vesper is seventeen and has spent much of her teenage years in foster care, often left with unanswered questions about her childhood and the many moves she has experienced. Sharp, observant, and naturally curious, she loves reading mystery novels and hopes to one day become a detective or investigative journalist. As she works toward finishing school and preparing for independence, she continues to dream of finding answers and helping others do the same.

Vesper has always believed that asking questions matters, even when people would rather you stop. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder follows a high school student who digs into a closed case for a school project and discovers that the official story doesn’t add up, a determination Vesper recognizes in herself. Reading about a girl who trusts her instincts and won’t let go of the truth would feed her dream of becoming an investigator, and it would give her one more story to love and call her own.
