If You Like Jennifer McMahon Books, You’ll Love…
The One I Left Behind: A Novel is one of Jennifer McMahon’s most popular books. The book tells us of the summer of 1985, the summer that changed Reggie’s life. She was an awkard girl, aged thirteen, in that summer who is finding her place among the school’s outcasts. During the same summer, a serial killer is haunting the town and leaving severed hands behind as trophies. Reggie is going through a lot this summer, but her whole world is rocked when her mother’s hand is found. No body ever appeared and the serial killer called Neptune stopped appearing. Twenty-five years later, Reggie is an architect who gets a disturbing call: her mother is alive.
Another popular book by McMahon is The Winter People. The town of West Hall, Vermont is one of those twos filled with legends and strange disappearances throughout its history. One of the most mysterious is from 1908 when Sara Harrison Shea was found dead in the field behind her house after the death of her daughter. In the present day, Ruthie lives in that same house with her mother and sister. History repeats itself when Ruthie’s mother disappears one day. Ruthie discovers Sara Harrison Shea’s diary and finds that history is repeating itself, but only she can stop it.
