Description Share Post Beth is Dead Katie Bernet (Scholastic) Beth is Dead. It seems Mr March offered this conclusion for the third of his four daughters within his smash hit exposé of the family, Little Women. However Beth’s fought back against this ending. In fact, she’s even been interviewed, determining that she’s a strong and brave future, ‘Just you wait’, she’s urged readers. However, Beth’s been murdered, her body found on the rocks on New Year’s Day. Who would kill her? After all, isn’t she the best of them, the optimist, the dreamer? Thereafter, where was she on New Year’s Eve? Could she have been fighting with Amy? Drinking? Lost with Jo? At odds with Meg? What has been going on? Readers chart a new story with each of the March sisters as they go through the days and weeks leading up to Beth’s death, and then as they work to expose the murderer. Like the wonderful Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy this reconnection with such familiar characters is precious. Then again, to see them within a 21st century setting, and then a detective mystery, brings further interest. Welcome aboard Beth is Dead!
