Signed copy: The Deadly Daylight (U.S. Edition)

An Alice England Mystery - Book 1

The Deadly Daylight hardback US edition signed by the author with enamel booklover pin.

Twelve-year-old Alice has a hard time making friends. Maybe it's because she works in a funeral home and receives messages from the dead.

The kids at school taunt her and call her "Alice in Zombieland," but Alice England finds refuge at her father's funeral home, where the dead tell her stories. As she arranges the deceased's personal mementos, an item will hum with meaning-resonance-and Alice will see the story of that person's life.

When Alice receives a vision of George Devenish, a man who died of a rare sunlight allergy, Alice knows he was murdered. Her only leads are George's niece, "Violet the Vampire," who shares her uncle's allergy, and a friendly but secretive boy named Cal.

As a determined Alice pursues the truth, she is surprised to find that Violet and Cal become more than just suspects, but allies-maybe even friends. Soon the kids are tangled up with poisoned brownies, underground goths, and suspicious doctors. However, Alice finds that navigating her first real friendships might be harder than solving a murder.

Delightful, dark and twisty, this mystery brings a group of misfits together to uncover the secrets lurking in the waters of Damocles Cove.
