Quick Summary
If you're into quick, fun mysteries, this one's pretty entertaining. Rollie Torres works at an investigation agency and gets stuck with a case where his client a beautiful actress being stalked is actually his old high school classmate Margaret, who he remembers very differently from the confident woman she is now. The story deals with some heavier stuff like what happens when your past comes back to bite you and the meanness people showed each other in school, so it's not just a surface-level whodunit. It's short enough that even reluctant readers can finish it without getting overwhelmed, and the romance element adds a nice twist that teen readers tend to enjoy. Parents should know there's some mild scary stuff with the stalking situation, but nothing too intense more suspenseful than horrifying. Think of it as a cozy mystery with a little heart underneath all the detective work.
