OLDER FICTION
Taylor, Nicole M.

The Extra Girl

(4) YA Killers series. Inspired by true crime stories, these grisly hi-lo novels take a sensationalist approach to hook reluctant readers. Settlers are murdered in 1870s Kansas Territory (Hunting); a bit-part actress goes missing in 1940s Hollywood (Extra); a serial-killing trucker targets women in a dead-end town (Our Lady). Each book includes an author's note with background on the real-life origin story. There are three other spring 2017 books in this series. Review covers these Killers titles: The Extra Girl, The Hunting Party, and Our Lady of the River's Mouth.
