This is one of the good MF books. I liked the story here, the mysterious air, and the teenaged fun. It's funny that she concocted a story and suddenly became a detective just because she was hooked to a crime show. I think that all of us has lived a detective fantasy every once in a while, but Madison really gave excitement to the usual twist. A nice MF book compared to the others.

Cute, algunas acciones cuestionbles, pero no todas las niñas de 13 son heroínas perfectas verdad? Si siento que cosas quedaron en el aire y se podría haber dado un desenlace o enseñanza mejor
