Somewhere in the Mist

By: J.W. Elliot

Narrated by: Nancy Bober

Secrets hide in the fog—mysteries Sophia must unravel if she hopes to survive.

A ghostly child haunts Sophia Keegan while a violent gang of rumrunners invades her New England hometown. Stony Harbor is quietly bleeding to death as the Great Depression and Prohibition suck away its vitality, exposing disturbing histories best left buried. But Sophia can’t leave them alone. The bootleggers threaten her family, innocent people die, and a ghost tears at the fabric of her reality. Sophia must untangle the horrible truths before the rumrunners kill her or the ghost drives her to madness.

This book is perfect for fans of Janet Taylor Lisle, Black Duck, Mary Downing Hahn, Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story, and Richard Peck’s A River Between Us.

A fun mystery and coming of age story

I enjoyed the way the author combined elements of mystery, crime story components, super natural occurrences, historical settings, and coming of age experiences into an entertaining tale. I’d recommend this book to young adults and adults alike. A worthwhile read.

Good read

The story was well written and easy to follow. I like the overarching theme of the story: resiliency of people. Though difficult and painful things happen in life it doesn’t mean life must forever be marred by the past.

Wonderful

Loved this story. Great story line. Very engaging. Keeps you wanting more. Very enjoyable to read. Lives you feel good.
