This book is very easy to get hooked on. Some things are not clear and takes a couple minutes to figure out what just happened, but it kind of gives you an "aha!" feeling when you figure it out. Over all, this book is very fun and intriguing

When I started to read this book it had many interesting parts. From the stolen things to the very end when everthing ties together. (

Sixteen-year-old Mary Elizabeth's summer job at an expensive health club turns out to be more exciting than she bargained for when a series of mysterious events culminate in murder.
