Twelve-year-old Hailey Newcomb developed an amazing gift when she fell through the ice over winter break; she now had the ability to receive messages from the dead. Upon returning to school, she is haunted by visions every time she sees one particular classmate. When she uncovers the truth about these messages, Hailey finds herself holding the key to solving a string of murders dating back seven years. Working with the police and FBI--and using clues from beyond the grave--she desperately tries to find the killer before he strikes again.
As she sits by the pool watching her kids splashing around, Becky Durfee is busy under an umbrella writing her Jenny Watkins Mystery series. A statistics teacher by trade, she uses her spare time to explore her more creative side.
She has worked full time, stayed home with kids, gotten married, gotten divorced, gotten re-married, acquired step-kids, juggled a career and a home, been pregnant, puked from morning sickness, given birth, peed from sneezing (directly related to that whole 'birth' thing) and somehow has managed to laugh through it all. Those experiences lend themselves to believable characters and humorous plot lines in her Jenny Watkins Mystery series.
