This thoughtfully rendered portrait of a family entering the political limelight brings to mind the work of Ellen Emerson White ( White House Autumn The President's Daught e r ). With her father running for governor of Texas, Cary is determined to find out why she appears to be in danger. A suspense novel set in the world of politics. Readers We are happy to help you find a store where Random House books are sold, online or in your neighborhood. Stine comes A Candidate For Murder from four-time Edgar Allen Poe Young Adult Mystery Award winner Joan Lowery Nixon. Believable characters and an ever-mounting level of suspense hold the reader's attention to the finish, when Cary-like any up-to-date feminist heroine-rescues herself from a deadly situation. For fans of Gillian Flynn, Caroline Cooney, and R.L. Because the evildoers' identities are obvious from the onset, and because the few red herrings are not all that misleading, this novel is more a thriller than a mystery. Convinced that Cary knows too much, someone goes to great lengths to ensure that she keeps quiet. Only gradually does she suspect that a series of strange events-two break-ins, several ominous phone calls and an attempted murder-are related to her inadvertent eavesdropping. Busy with school, a serious romance and her father's gubernatorial campaign, Cary pays little attention to a mysterious conversation she overhears at a party.
