well-loved policeman, and also her best friend. Will she be able to find the
thief and rescue her father’s reputation and business before the store closes
for good? Will she stay the loner or open her mind and heart to receive help?
This wonderful Young Adult mystery is an excellent read with many twists and
turns, and juicy characters. I love the relationship between Crystal and her
family. It shows positive aspects that sometimes don’t exist anymore, but
should. It was near perfect in plot, setting, and theme. I didn’t want the story
to end. I give it an A+. This e-book is available through Smashwords and
Amazon.com.
