This was a fast-paced young-adult mystery/thriller.  Seeing how they changed it from a book set in England to one here in the states was amusing.

A fast-paced murder mystery with a surprise around every corner. Unpredictable characters and plot, with storylines that cleverly intertwine. A very easy read, with drama right up until the very end.
