Review

This opens with a warning from the author in her own voice to explain that Sammy isn't here (as she was in the rest of the series)and then goes on with the story to explain what happened to Sammy, girl detective. This is the final book in the Sammy Keyes series, Sammy has been hurt and is in a coma. Characters from previous books come back to help solve the mystery of who, why, and how Sammy was hurt. This book will make sense as long as the reader have read at least some of the series but is not meant to stand alone. Loose ends from the series are tied up and the humor of the characters come through. Fans will enjoy this satisfying ending to the series.

Overall Book Score: very good
