It's been a while since I picked up a book and read it in a day. STAY DEAD is definitely "a can't put it down" read. I'd say April Henry at her best!
Milan has been kicked out of her third boarding school. Now she's headed home to Portland at least for a short bit until her Senator mother finds another school for her. Since her father, the first Senator Mayhew, was killed in a car accident, Milan has been shuffled around. Feeling guilty that she may have been responsible for the accident has Milan acting out and making poor choices that might be her way of getting her mother's attention.
Now Milan is boarding a private plane with her mother and her staff. It probably isn't the attention she wanted, but it is what it is. Shortly after takeoff, over mountainous terrain, one of the plane's wings explodes. The aircraft crashes in the forest and Milan is the only survivor. Just before she dies, her mother warns her she is in danger, and she must promise to "stay dead" and deliver some evidence to a family friend. What follows is an action-packed journey to outwit those out to destroy the evidence and Milan.
Author April Henry uses her wits and her talents to research everything her characters experience to weave a truly suspenseful tale. Readers will be rooting for Milan as they turn pages holding their breaths to the very end.
