I enjoyed this book so much I found myself talking out loud to the main character - and I'm not a big mystery fan.
Ingrid is a middle school soccer player and aspiring actress with busy parents and a brother who is the only freshman on the football team. Waiting impatiently for her parents after her orthodontist appointment, Ingrid decides to hoof it to soccer practice - and ends up in the seedy side of Echo Falls where she meets Cracked-Up Katie, a local seen as looney by the kids in town. Katie invites Ingrid in while she calls a cab for her but the next day Katie turns up murdered. And Ingrid discovers she's missing her soccer cleats - the last time she saw them was Katie's. Are they still there and does that make her a suspect? As events stack up, Ingrid decides the only way to clear her name is to solve the mystery herself just like Sherlock Holmes.
