Lin Fox must move from England to Germany during her last year of high school along with her father, stepmother, sister, and baby brother. Her father is a professor of Medieval Studies and wants to find the legendary stained glass of Allerheiligen. Some believe the stained glass windows were destroyed long ago. Some believe the windows are hidden and, if found, would be priceless. Many believe the windows are haunted and cursed. After years of research, Lin's father wants to move to the German village where he thinks the windows may be hidden. As they first arrive at the village, they discover a dead body surrounded by shattered glass in an orchard. This is the first of several mysterious deaths that seem to be tied to the windows. Will Lin's family be next?
This is a suspenseful mystery story. But it also contains family drama with the tension between Lin, her sister (who struggles with anorexia), and their stepmother. And it has a romance as Lin and the boy who lives near them are attracted to each other. The contemporary German setting is also interesting. Good read.
