Cemetery Girl is a novel written by David Bell, which will be released from New American Library, a Member of Penguin Group USA in 2011.[needs update]
Synopsis
The novel tells the story of Tom and Abby Stuart, a couple who had everything: a perfect marriage, successful careers, and a beautiful twelve-year-old daughter, Caitlin. Then one day Caitlin vanished without a trace. For a while they grasped at every false hope and followed every empty lead, but the tragedy ended up changing their lives, overwhelming them with guilt and dread, and shattering their marriage.
Four years later, Caitlin is found alive—dirty and disheveled yet preternaturally calm. She won’t discuss where she was or what happened. Then the police arrest a suspect connected to the disappearance, but Caitlin refuses to testify, leaving the Stuarts with a choice: Let the man who may be responsible for destroying their lives walk away, or take matters into their own hands. And when Tom decides to try to uncover the truth for himself, he finds that nothing that has happened yet can prepare him for what he is about to discover.[1]
Reception
Publisher’s Weekly called Cemetery Girl “disquieting and suspenseful””[2] and Suspense Magazine called it “brilliantly engaging, and a must-read for thriller fans.” In the October issue of SOKY Happenings, Literary Pages columnist Kristie Lowry recommended Cemetery Girl saying "...the reader is treated to great writing that relays so much more than the typical mystery/thriller abduction tale." And calls it "a thought-provoking book, and one that would be good for a book club."
Cemetery Girl Book Trailer
Nashville filmmaker James Weems shot a short film called “Caitlin’s Story”[3] that serves as the book trailer for Bell’s Cemetery Girl.
