"What a fun read!! I even laughed out loud a couple times at the ridiculous events in the book. The mystery was satisfying, but the relationships with the characters was the best part. How fun it is to read about characters close to my age that are vital and interesting! It just bothers me that they use the name of the Lord in vain so easily. Why do they do that?"
