I read this book while student teaching because I was looking for something quick and mind-numbing to take brain-breaks with. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I got involved with the story. The characters are well-developed and the mystery is enthralling. Now that I teach, it has been on my bookshelf and many students have read it as well. I am shocked at how many loved it so much they begged me to take it home for a weekend to read.

This is an inside out mystery with the action fast and furious at the beginning and all the psychological repurcussions throughout the rest. Very involving family drama.
