I'm loving this trend of smart mystery/thriller/detective novels in YA. They are perhaps (at times) a little tame for adult thriller fans but they are a wonderful introduction to the style that won't have parents threatening to burn the book if a teacher recommends it.
This was not the most original of stories but the investigative moments were interesting and there were enough twists and turns to keep the momentum going. I had a suspicion as to the conclusion fairly early in the book but it didn't take away from the story in any way and there were moments that made me doubt that feeling. Really, that is all that you can ask for in this type of book.
