Three young siblings, under 16, are on a walk and find a dead body. I think they keep it a secret. As the book unfolds we learn about their family life and the effect their secret has on them. Written in 2020, by a woman. I think it takes place on the west coast of the US.

What's the genre? Literary fiction, mystery, drama, suspense, etc.?

What time period does the book cover? Meaning, is the book still examining the effect of the secret 20, 30, 40 years later?
What effect does the secret have on the family?
Who is the dead person and how does this relate to the story if at all?

When is it set?

Shelly, I added some details to the header/topic title. You can update it by clicking the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

Is this book for kids, teens or adults?

Can you describe the body (e.g., age, gender, cause of death) and where they found it?
