(2) YA The author sets in motion a dark comedy in which the two most vivid characters--London teen Lucas Swain's missing dad and Violet, who's been cremated--appear mainly in Lucas's mind. Lucas never knew Violet, but he repeatedly stumbles upon evidence that she and his father were connected. The mystery that unravels both inside and outside of Lucas's head will keep readers entertained.
