review 1: For me, the location of a book is one of the most important characters, and I used to live in Tucson, so I read this book for the nostalgia. I wasn't disappointed - the book captures the intense summer desert heat that I used to love to hate, and the mountains that were such a relief to go to. I liked the story too - a fast moving mystery with well-developed characters and interesting plot twists. The main story line about two kidnapped girls was compelling; a second strand of the action, about a third girl, seemed forced to me, but this may be a trademark of the series. (This is the only one I have read.) It was a good deck read for a holiday weekend.
review 2: more like 3.5. this touched on a couple of different interesting idea's, but was more cumberso... moreme to get through then the previous 2 books in this series. did not move through the action as seamlessly as it could have and the surprises were not forshadowed as near as well as I think they could have been. several times I questioned where that came from or how we got to where we are. entertaining., but lacking. less
