Itâ??s the biggest mystery of the summer, and everyone in Castle Cove thinks they know what happened. But they're wrong.

"Part Agatha Christie, part Veronica Mars, and completely entertaining." â??Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Of Us Is Lying
A PEOPLE MAGAZINE BEST BOOK OF SUMMER

Last summer, Alice Ogilvieâ??s basketball-star boyfriend Steve dumped her. Then she disappeared for five days. She's not talking, so where she went and what happened to her is the biggest mystery in Castle Cove. Or it was, at least. But now, another one of Steveâ??s girlfriends has vanished: Brooke Donovan, Aliceâ??s exâ??best friend. And it doesnâ??t look like Brooke will be coming back. . .
 
Enter Iris Adams, Aliceâ??s tutor. Iris has her own reasons for wanting to disappear, though unlike Alice, she doesnâ??t have the money or the means. That could be changed by the hefty reward Brookeâ??s grandmother is offering to anyone who can share information about her granddaughterâ??s whereabouts. The police are convinced Steve is the culprit, but Alice isnâ??t so sure, and with Iris on her side, she just might be able to prove her theory.
 
In order to get the reward and prove Steveâ??s innocence, they need to figure out who killed Brooke Donovan. And luckily Alice has exactly what they needâ??the complete works of Agatha Christie. If thereâ??s anyone that can teach the girls how to solve a mystery itâ??s the master herself. But the town of Castle Cove holds many secrets, and Alice and Iris have

This was really fun and the narration was fab. Hope this series gains a strong readership among the yoof! ( )

Nice tribute to classic mystery characters and authors, wrapped around a story of a girl who has huge feelings of abandonment, another who alternates between a sense of invisibility and vulnerability. Lots of twists and complex characters make figuring out who the killer was, a most enjoyable challenge. I immediately ordered the sequel to continue the fun. ( )
