Review:
"Hanging By A Thread" by Sophie Littlefield was a interesting, long and detailed spooky mystery read. As a young adult if you are into creepy murders and vintage fashion then you are in for a good read. The story ran a little slow for me at the beginning ...I kept wanting it to pick up a little more and it did!
OK, just let me start....I gathered from my reading that there was some relationship between Clare and her mom(Susie)....Clare's mom and her mother(Nana).... Clare's friend
Rachel and her mom (Mrs. Slade) .... then their was Amanda's mom (Mrs. Stavros) and her daughter...Mrs. Granger... son (Dillon) death all coming together with Clare and her mother that really making this story...... "Hanging By A Thread" a worthwhile read.
Clare(Cee cee) was sixteen ..... a junior in HS who had moved back to Winston, California from San Francisco with her mom. Clara had a gift that had been passed down to her from her great grandmother and that was having 'the ability to glimpses of people's negative actions when Clare touched their clothes.' Along with this gift Clare also had the ability to take vintage clothing and turn them into very exclusive
customed styles which made selling good for her business.
I found that this story zip here and there quiet a bit making the story somewhat at times a little hard to follow...and some details were left unresolved... but maybe that was to make us think? A thought.....
Winston, California was coming upon a second anniversary (Fourth of July) when two of the town kids had been killed ....
(Dillon's death and Amanda's disappearance). What would happen this year? Clare happens upon a piece of clothing that proved to belong to the girl that had been killed .... now how was Clare to find out ... who and why this girl had been killed? 'Trying to solve a mystery that kept getting more and more complicated' was really working... Well, I will leave this up to you to read "Hanging by a Thread." I think I am catching up! ......And then there was a long talk with Clare's Nana. Oh ! 'Sometimes knowing and telling is the wrost thing you can do!' You must read this good read to find out just what I am talking about.
The characters were really interesting in this storyline.... Claire, her mom(Susie) and grandmother(Nana), Rachel, (Amanda(Mandy), Dillon), Lincoln, Jack, Victoria, Jenna, Kane, Luke, Mrs. Granger, Mrs. Stavro and a few others I have left out.
I found "Hanging By A Thread" story line may have been a little slow at times.... but the story will pick up.....and if you are willing to stick with this storyline you will find out just what happened to the two kids that had been such a mystery for this town. Just who was the killer? I believe you will find this novel an acceptable read for a teen and or young adult.
