Forest Books: O'Roark Dowell, Frances Dovey Coe

Winner of Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award. Dovey Coe likes to speak her mind. She tells her beautiful older sister Caroline exactly what she thinks about no-good rich boy Parnell Caraway hanging round their house all summer. And she's quick to speak up for her deaf brother Amos when people treat him as if he's slow. But sometimes, speaking your mind can get you into a whole lot of trouble - as Dovey Coe discovers. Accused of murder, who will speak up for her? Paperback 181 pages 2002
