Such a cute book with such an ominous title.
Thanks to Blue Rider Press for the advanced copy (and it was perfectly wrapped in that unicorn wrapping paper!)
A GUIDE FOR MURDERED CHILDREN by Sarah Sparrow (Releasing March 20th, 2018)

Here’s the synopsis:
We all say there is no justice in this world. But what if there really was? What if the souls of murdered children were able to return briefly to this world, inhabit adult bodies and wreak ultimate revenge on the monsters who had killed them, stolen their lives?
Such is the unfathomable mystery confronting ex-NYPD detective Willow Wylde, fresh out of rehab and finally able to find a job running a Cold Case squad in suburban Detroit. When the two rookie cops assigned to him take an obsessive interest in a decades old disappearance of a brother and sister, Willow begins to suspect something out of the ordinary is afoot. And when he uncovers a series of church basement AA-type meetings made up of the slain innocents, a new way of looking at life, death, murder and missed opportunities is revealed to him.
Mystical, harrowing and ultimately tremendously moving, A Guide for Murdered Children is a genre-busting, mind-bending twist on the fine line between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
Love the cases when the cover makes a murder thriller look cute and appealing.

So is it a supernatural element? I’ve had this waiting to be read forever- just not crazy about mystical realism if that’s what it is😌 thanks for your review!
