Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Into The Morning

If Veronica Mars had been born in Chelsea, this would be her story.
Scarlett, though often evoking the image of a monkey in the trees, is so
realistic that I really feel she exists somewhere in the purple laurel
hills of rural England/Scotland. Lauren Henderson has captured exactly
what it's like to be this specific girl in this specific place. The
voice of the heroine is so realistic and so interesting that it's hard
to put the book down for any reason. And even though the main mystery of
the first 2 books has been solved, I will follow Scarlett into the next
100 mysteries because the author has proven herself up to the task of
writing real YA storylines. I just ask that Scarlett spend less of her
time up trees in upcoming novels -- if possible!
