??
I started reading the book, so I finished it. The grammar was stilted. The religious aspect annoyed me. Teen agers so mature they can solve murders and kidnappings when no one else can? So well behaved that breaking and entering is passed over as being helpful?? No one argues, bi-racial couple, absolute strangers, move in with a white couple and IMMEDIATELY become close. This is supposed to be fiction, not science fiction. Don't recommend this book at all.

Really Good Mystery Book
I read both books and they were really entertaining. It's a real shame more scumbags can't meet their end like the evil doers in these books.
The only unbelievable part is the little Shih Tzu attack dog. We have a Shih Tzu and the only thing she could attack is a ham sandwich.
Also, I'm always amazed at how people question why God lets evil on earth occur as it does. It's a simple answer: Satan is the God of this world until our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, returns!

Who killed the girls
I love the series but it had a lot of errors., but at least it had an ending. I loved Sammy. Thank God he was found alive.
