Friendship Mysteries: Hemlock Lake - 9798990839007

Best friends, Chloe and Beatrice, are more than ready to start their summer vacation. Meeting up on day one with plans to relax on the beach, read, and talk endlessly is all that is on their minds. Beatrice needs a relaxing summer, both physically and mentally, to come to terms with her devastating cancer diagnosis. Chloe wants nothing more than to make the summer for Beatrice special. They call it the 'Summer of C', the summer of cancer.

Little did they know that the summer of cancer, would become the summer of crime.

The summer becomes complicated when their neighbor,

Mr. McBean vanishes. The girls find themselves in a summer filled with clues, suspects, and betrayal. Time is running out and they just may be the neighbor's only help.

Mr. McBean's shady past, estranged daughter, old friends, and his chubby dog, Peanut, all play a part in his disappearance. Can two innocent girls, who struggle with a cancer diagnosis, boys, threats, and their final days together muddle through the clues to save the day? And what happens when you add a talkative, imaginative little girl to the mix?

The girls may succeed, but at what cost?
