In 1944 Gretchen, though only 13 or 14, gets a job as a reporter on the local small town newspaper. When her friend Barb's mom is murdered, Barb's dad, who was home on leave and is now missing, is the logical suspect. When the dad is found dead, an apparent suicide with a confession on the table by him, the case is considered solved. But a letter from Barb decades later brings the whole thing back to Gretchen.
I didn't care for this story. I didn't find the teenage Barb and Gretchen characters believable. They didn't ring true.
