Afterwards (Center Point Platinum Mystery (Large Print)) - Hardcover
Following a catastrophic fire at school, 17-year-old Jenny Covey is given a slim chance of survival. Her mother Grace, who rushed into the burning building to try to save her daughter, lies in a coma in the same hospital, with the prospect of never regaining consciousness. When the police conclude that the fire was started deliberately, an investigation to find the arsonist is led by Grace's sister-in-law Sarah, a detective.
What turns this thriller into something extraordinary is the fact that it is narrated by Grace, who is detached from her inert body, thus free to follow each step of the investigation as it unfolds. Unseen by all those in the physical world, Grace and Jenny piece together the terrible truth, unable to communicate it, but determined that the person responsible should be held to account. And in what is literally a heart-stopping ending, Grace contrives a way to ensure that justice is done.

Review:
Amazon Best Books of the Month, April 2012: After Grace drags her teenage daughter, Jenny, from the inferno that engulfs her school, they awake in the hospital and find themselves outside of their damaged bodies. Only they can see or hear each other, a state that becomes more agonizing once Graze realizes that the police are calling the case closed, while whoever set the blaze still wants Jenny dead. Fiercely determined to protect her daughter, aching to bring comfort to her husband and son, Grace races to find the perpetrator and make them known. Like Lupton’s celebrated debut, Sister--an Amazon editors’ pick for a Best Books of 2011--this twisty, inventive thriller delivers a powerful portrayal of a woman’s love for family transcending all boundaries. –Mari Malcolm
