Swallowing Stones by Joyce McDonald
When Michael Mackenzie fires off a shot from his grandfather’s old rifle into the air on his seventeenth birthday, he never thinks of the terrifying repercussions that could take place. The next day, the news that a man has died from a bullet spreads through the town and Michael knows that it is his fault. As he entangles himself in a web of lies to protect himself, he encounters Jenna Ward, the daughter of the man he has killed. Michael struggles with the guilt of what he has done, and the fear of what could happen if he is caught. The author does a fantastic job alternating between the points of views of the grief-filled Jenna Ward, and the guilt-filled Michael Mackenzie. This book is very suspenseful and will be enjoyable to mystery readers.
