The Caged Graves

The Caged Graves by Dianne K. Salerni, 329 pages

Verity Boone is returning to her home in Catawissa, Pennsylvania after fifteen years living with her cousins in Massachusetts. She was sent away when her mother died but now she will be living again with her father, until her marriage to their neighbor, Nathaniel. However, Verity finds that Nate may not be exactly the boy she met through their written correspondence and that something odd is going around surrounding her mother’s death and burial. Also, there is some talk that her father and uncle uncovered a treasure that they’ve been hiding for several years. Any of these things could prove to be Verity’s undoing. This was an exciting, edge-of-your-seat read, good for teens who like mystery/suspense type novels, especially those with some romance and/or historical setting.
