All the Pretty Things by Emily Arsenault

Mystery Novel

For Ivy, summer consists of spinning cotton candy, watching roller coasters at her family's amusement park, Fabuland, and working with her best friend Morgan. However, this summer is different when one morning Morgan finds the dead body of their friend and coworker Ethan. Shortly after, havoc breaks out in their small town, leaving everyone wondering if there is a killer among them.

Ivy is left confused as Morgan is taken to a psych ward shortly after, refusing to speak. She then sets out to solve the mystery of Ethan’s death, unconvinced that this was simply a bad fall as police claim. What Ivy uncovers is disturbing and chilling. The more Ivy uncovers, the deeper she falls into the dark truths that will change her life and Fabuland forever.
