Abby Goodwin discovers the body of Jefferson Andrews in a ravine with his head bashed in along with her sister Maya's cell phone. Maya is off somewhere in a drug induced stupor. Maya's stuff is no Andrews car. Its all circumstantial but it sure looks like Maya is the killer. Abby secrets Maya off to grandma to hide from the police with the help of her sort of best friend. Abby seems to be sort of trying to find out who really murdered Andrews but only sort of. She talks with his weird younger brother. She goes to Medusa's Den which is a combination tattoo parlor and hub of drug trafficking.
Not only was Jefferson Andrews star of the school football team he was a dealer and was dating several popular and unpopular girls at the same time. There are small inconsistencies and the ineffective way she looks for the killer and the fact that Abby first hides her sister then lures her out in the open that says something is not quite right. Its very slight. Eventually we find out that Abby is a very unreliable narrator and perhaps worse. I felt more confused than intrigued. For a mystery, it just never gets too compelling, just sort of ho hum. There are definitely better mysteries out there.
That's just my say though. Joyce 10/12/12
