When dad killed mom, it reminded me of Past suspicion. In addition because the thriller and suspense takes a big roll. Having you wanting more. Jenna the main character of When dad killed mom, was searching for clues and wouldn't let anyone close to her. Robin is almost exactly the same not trusting anyone, and snooping around.
Stolen reminds of Past Suspicion, because of the mystery aspect. In addition though Past Suspicion & Stolen both have there main characters adapt to a new setting. Which in Past Suspicion is Wisconsin.
Paper Towns reminds me of Past Suspicion because of the clues. Robin, the main character of Past Suspicion has journals that lead her to different areas. Learning more about her mothers past, and eventually her future. These two books have details almost the exact same,
