I liked this book. It was simple and Sabrina did not seem as dumb as some amateur investigators.
I also enjoyed the realistic ending - I'm sick of everyone getting involved in a murder case.
Very confused about where Mrs. Wembley came from, though. How did she know what was going on with her brother and Funland? Seemed to come out of nowhere. It does make sense because the book is from Sabrina's POV but it's never explained how Mrs. W happened to be there at the right time.
You know who was REALLY dumb?? Those girls who fell for Dan's nonsense. Again, realistic. It happens; people get scammed every day. And even when they ARE smart about life.
Mariann frustrated me. Sabrina told her that her family was a mess and her sister was desperate to find her, and she's all, "Well that's nice but I had blocked her messages." No remorse, she doesn't realize the seriousness of the situation...nothing.
Also, Dan seemed on the verge of becoming very unstable...but he was already sending threatening messages and trying to run Sabrina over with his car?? That DOES seem more like the behavior of a murderer and not someone just scamming some girls because he has a mental problem. It built up dramatic effect but didn't seem in character. Besides, two girls left and he didn't chase them down or anything? It didn't seem like anyone was being held prisoner so...why so aggressive?
I overall did enjoy this book but I at first thought it was a debut novel...and it 100% isn't. Oops.
