What a huge dissappointment of a book. I know many of you are waiting in line on the wishlist to get this book. and that is one of those books that doesnt get posted often, but really you have better things to read.

Something was just seriously wrong with this book. I felt like I was reading a book meant for kids, and I mean like 8 to 10 year olds. I read the whole thing, but just kept asking myself what is wrong with the writing? I know these authors, and they have written a well done serious [Missing Pieces Mysteries]. I also know that they have done some kids books and I think they just didnt cross over to the adult side correctly.

Let me see if I can pinpoint the areas that fell flat, Nope I cant, it just overall read like some amelia bedelia or scooby doo mystery.

Let me try again: For instance, our main character is thinking about romance with a few characters, but it all fell flat, no chemistry no reason why they might fall in love, and LOVE was the word used. Then the silly fist fights, and dialogue and characters threatening to hit each other, and the easy make up and apologies, and they took a captured crimiinal to one of the police officers homes in the middle of the night. Bad police procedure, bad sleuthing, bad dialogue. She needs stitches but she never does go get that medical attention, just a lot of unfinished business.

The only redeeming part was the way they described the communication between animals and humans. The cat and the turtle was very cute. I swear she actually picks up a raccoon in one part.
