Barbara Haworth-Attard's novel Haunted has been selected as young adult winner for this year's Arthur Ellis Award from the Crime Writers of Canada. For winners in other categories go to the Crime Writers of Canada website at http://crimewriterscanada.com/cwcNew/index.html
Haunted is available in the library. Here's a review of the novel from the Toronto Star:
“Creepiness and dread build forcibly as this spooky tale of predation and murder builds toward its moments of revelation. Its post-war setting gives richness to Dee's intuitions of the dead in a world that is suffering many losses. Haworth-Attard folds into her ghost story the tale of a girl's coming of age in a period of social and political change: Dee's midwife Gran can look forward to her insightful granddaughter training to become not a nurse, but a doctor. A satisfying read.”
