-She sated her father talked to her about the Homicide which occurred on Monday. She thought it was strange to her because her father never talked about that kind of stuff.

Furthermore, as a result of her ability to be extremely observant, the reader can consider Kelsey as an investigator. For example, on pages 103-104, Kelsey claims, “I pressed my thumb to the keypad, but nothing happened. Maybe they were shaking with adrenaline. I tried again, first wiping my hands on the side of my pants. Again, nothing happened. No click. Something soured in my stomach, in my mouth- and my hands started shaking again, for a very different reason.” She then continues, “I felt the wrongness through every pore of my body. I pushed the gate, and it opened on its own, and my heart plummeted into my stomach. The system was off, and the gate was unlocked. ‘Something’s wrong,’ I said.” This key point indicates that Kelsey is very watchful, and pays close attention to details. Prior to searching the house, Kelsey’s instinct told her that her mother was in serious danger. Someone with observant qualities, such as Kelsey, can conclude that something is not right, even from the slightest change in their surroundings. Her ability to recognize the situation as soon as she approached the gate is one factor that might’ve allowed her to reunite with her mom.

Almost everyone loves a great mystery, and what could be more mysterious than a disappearing lake? Vanishing lake, you ask? Yes, it is true. Stanley Park is home to Beaver Lake, Vancouver’s incredible shrinking lake. Clue Hunters, interested in cracking the case, will need to venture off the seawall and head into the forest to explore the inner wonders of Stanley Park. Granted, the stunning views of mountains, sky and ocean along the famous seawall are difficult to leave behind, but an “off-trip” to explore Beaver Lake is worth the short detour. My favourite access point to the lake is via a stone gateway beneath Stanley Park drive. I feel like I am entering a whole new

Authorities told her they had interviewed about a dozen witnesses but were still trying to find someone who saw their suspect pull a knife and stab her son.

different reasons behind her motive that night. However, all evidence still points to her cynically

One of the things about the book that I personally liked was the characters, some of them were easy to relate to, even if you couldn't you could relate someone you knew with them. For example, David is not one of the main characters from the story but the more you learn about him, the more you realize how ambitious he is, wanted to change his career path almost every week, standing up to Mr. Neck. I think he's one of the things that helped Melinda find her voice.

One dislike I had with the book was some of the romance that lasted too long on page 128. It was also mostly awkward the whole time, like when Kyle said weird stuff like, “Your hand is so small.” and other eccentric actions. Another dislike I had was the ending itself. It was extremely predictable that Cammie’s mom would save her in the end. The last thing I disliked in the book was the character of the deputy in the book, ““Kill two birds with one stone. You can be the birds,” she murmured wanting him to fly away. “I’m the stone.”” He was just there in the book and just gets denied by Cammie and really does nothing

Some readers did not like the book, feeling that they had no connection with the main character and felt that they took way too long to figure things out and just go over and over the same clues, getting nowhere with them. Some thought there was a good idea, but that the author does not do a great job of executing it. Some readers seemed to be missing something, almost as though part of the novel was missing, and you were just supposed to know who everyone

She interprets that the tape is actually of a murder, because of the way he refers to it, thus scaring her into a panic. Although this wasn’t the way he envisioned for her mood to alter, it still did.

Another reason why I liked the book was the change of setting. I usually read fiction novels during this time period. While Snow Flower and the Secret Fan was set way back. Little details really made me feel like I have been to ancient China. It was nice to have this type of setting instead of a teched out, modern world.
