The Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw
Synopsis
Vanessa Shaw was the kind of girl people either loved or hated. The summer before senior year, her friends gathered at her family's secluded river cabin for one last party — and Vanessa disappeared without a trace.
Exactly one year later, her brother Kirin brings the same group back to the cabin to honor her memory. But each of the six friends is hiding something about that night, and as old tensions resurface, the truth about what really happened to Vanessa starts to come apart. Told through multiple points of view moving between past and present, Sarra Cannon's The Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw is a standalone YA psychological thriller built around red herrings and a shifting picture of who Vanessa really was.
