Lemon Tart by Josi S. Kilpack

Anne moved in across the street about 9 months ago. Quickly Sadie and Anne became friends. Anne needed a sitter and someone to help her with her little boy Trevor. Anne also wanted to learn how to cook, something Sadie had perfected over the years. But this morning, while making applesauce Sadie notices a police car in her neighborhood, something that just doesn't happen where she lives. Then she hears another police car. Shocked by this Sadie looks out the window and sees that they are at Anne's house. Sadie is so concerned she grabs her keys and runs to see what could possibly be going on at Anne's.   They ask Sadie why she is at Anne's house, Sadie explains that she helps watch Trevor for Anne when she is at work or needs help. Sadie explains to the officers that she has keys to Anne's place and can let them in. Quickly one of the officers ask if she knows much about Anne's place and if she can help point out anything that might be out of place. She walks the officers through the home pointing out some inconsistencies explaining why they are wrong. One officer is extremely unhappy that the other officer has asked for Sadie's help.  Anne's body is discovered in the backyard and due to no family in the area and Sadie not knowing how to contact them, she is asked to verify that the body is that of Anne's. Sadie is very upset to see the body and give a positive ID to the police that yes in fact Anne is dead and her son is missing.They send Sadie home letting her know that they will be back to speak to her. With great sadness Sadie starts to ponder who could have possibly killed Anne, where is Trevor and why did this happen. But little does Sadie know that there is so much more to this story then she ever thought possible.

This is an adult novel but is written by an LDS author, so it is something ANYONE 14 and up could read!
I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
It was a simple story, that had a great twist but I hated that it finally got good at the end.
