THE LAST GOOD PLACE OF LILY ODILON
FLUX (10/1/10)
YAAbducted? Runaway? Murder victim? Lily Odilon—local wild child from a middle-of-nowhere town—has vanished after spending the night with her boyfriend, new kid Albert Morales. Suspected in her disappearance, Albert sets out with Lily’s prickly younger sister, Olivia, to discover what really happened to Lily—and to keep the promise he made to her late one night.
Praise for The Last Good Place:
Selected for YALSA's 2011 Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults List
From Booklist: "This debut novel boasts a strong narrative drive, deft scene setting, and isn’t bad at delivering catch-your-breath suspense, either."
From VOYA: "Hopefully, Beitia will write other mysteries for Albert, he is too good a character to lose."
From PW: "[A] journey well worth taking."
From The Bookmonger: "Beitia has written a fascinating, slow-burn thriller ...[t]his portrayal of alienated youth feels heartbreakingly true."
From Kirkus: "[T]his noir thriller hooks readers with realistic dialogue, fully fleshed characters and plenty of twists. Terrific to the last, good page."
