Searching For Sylvie Lee by Jean Swok

Not only is this a taunt well-written who done it but also a masterful mix of the problems with two families, two cultures two continents away. Amy is searching for the older sister she has always idolized. She becomes increasingly frantic when her sister doesn't answer her phone and the people she is usually around have had no contact with her. She last spoke to Sylvie when she took off to the Nederlands to say goodbye to their grandmother and then never came home. Why doesn't anything Sylvie told Amy or their parents add up? The questions continue when Amy goes to Amsterdam to piece together her sister's last weeks. Are the family and friends there telling the truth or covering up something sinister. The suspect list grows with every turn of the page and only widens the gap between the two cultures.
