All is not well in Echo Falls: Thirteen-year-old amateur sleuth Ingrid Levin-Hill seems to be surrounded by people with secrets. Why is her father at home in the middle of the day? Why does her football-player brother suddenly have pimples all over his back? Who left the empty bottle of steroids in the tree house? Why has the new assistant soccer coach-coincidentally, the new VP at the company where her father works-taken out the coach with a viciously kicked ball? Why has the rich daughter of her father's boss suddenly invited Ingrid over for a swim? Readers of Down the Rabbit Hole (2005) will see subplots introduced in the previous novel developed more fully here while at the same time being introduced to a new set of malefactors in a more tightly controlled plot. Ingrid herself remains the same wonderfully realized middle-schooler, equally drawn to her cantankerous outlaw Grampy and the upstanding Chief of Police Strade (and his son Joey). In a literature notoriously light on solid mysteries, Abrahams's second outing for kids stands out as a deliciously plotted, highly satisfying adventure. (Fiction. 10-14) (Kirkus Reviews)
