This was okay, but not as good as the Patsy Kelly books.
* The ending was so rushed. The bad guy was arrested, and it just stopped! We didn't find out if Bobby was okay, or what was wrong with Dodger, or if anything would come from the information Jessie and Bobby found out.
* We never found out what happened with the Bradleys, or exactly how many men Laurie was stringing along.
* Would it still count as a suicide if Laurie took the tablets expecting Dodger to call the police before she actually died? Was it Dodger's fault then? Or was it Tom's fault? Seeing as Tom was the reason she did it in the first place.

Mostly I just didn't care about anything or anyone. Laurie Drake wasn't a good person, and it was annoying how it really did turn out to be a suicide, so I don't know why the story was treated like a crime story. Apparently the boy she bullied is at fault for not stopping her own actions? Please. .
