Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Stephanie

Jas wants to spend her Las Vegas family vacation as a Model Daughter. Which means trying to distance herself from the trouble that usually attaches itself to this detective-wannabe. But after being practically mauled by a mean cat belonging to a young boy named Fred, Jas finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery. Who is after Fiona, Fred's actress mother? Could it be her husband, Red, who was blamed for murdering her lover and then disappeared after escaping from custody? And who is this extremely cute boy Jack, anyway? Why is he warning Jas to stay out of the Fiona and Fred's business?

Fans of Meg Cabot's works will surely be delighted with this cute mystery story. Jas's friends are hilarious, and I have hardly ever seen a better usage of footnotes than in this book. Read it while the summer's still hot!
