I'm having a hard time figuring out Tom's age and this book didn't say. Sometimes in his awkwardness and mistakes, he seems very young, but the trouble he gets himself into is big time and makes it seem like he would need to be a bit older than my initial assumptions of age.

I read this book in one sitting, just like the one before it. It's a quick read with a solid mystery and some gritty, but straightforward plotlines.
