For as long as the Vickery twins can remember, they’ve only ever been able to leave the house together once a year, on Halloween. The rest of the year, Lee and his mother serve Memory while Felix and his father assist Death. This is the Agreement. But one Halloween, Gretchen Whipple smashes her way into their lives. Her bargain is simple: If the twins help her solve the murder of local girl Essie Hasting, she’ll help them break the Agreement. The more the three investigate, however, the more they realize that something’s gone terribly wrong in their town.

Original mythology in a small town setting
Revisado: 11-19-18
This book is a wonderfully original mythology set in a small community. Given that the material can sometimes be dark (for example, Death is a character), the author finds a way to balance the macabre with bright, compelling characters and a through line of love (both romantic and familial). It’s also a page-turning mystery, which is why I finished this audiobook in only 3 days!
Brian Holden is a fantastic narrator. I could listen to him read the dictionary and I’d be on the edge of my seat. He makes the story even more compelling through his dynamic narration and handles the character voices with believable and consistent choices.
For anyone who is a fan of original mythologies, small town settings with compelling characters, and mysteries (Neil Gaiman fans!) this a must-read!
