The Many Lives of John Stone by Linda Buckley-Archer

The Many Lives of John Stone by Linda Buckley-Archer - 531 pages

Stella Park (nicknamed Spark) gets a summer job working on John Stone's archive of historical notebooks at his remote estate in Suffolk, England.  The job is an odd one where she is simply arranging the notebooks without any context as they are all in a coded cypher.  The estate is even odder with inhabitants that either seem to despise her or consider her a long-lost family member.  Will Spark figure out the mysteries surrounding her job and the people she meet that summer?

This was an interesting book.  It was well written.  Even though I figured out one of the main mysteries just a couple chapters in, it still kept you guessing with the other twists and turns.  I would almost consider this more of an adult for adults than a book for teens as intended.
