Reviews
Goodreads ~ Determined to find out what really happened, Cassie Clark becomes a teenage sleuth with a determination that would put many adults to shame. This novel is very much styled as an adventure thriller, with spills and jeopardy aplenty. There’s terrorism, drug smuggling, and a touch of romance (and Cassie’s very attractive young bodyguard). There’s a fair bit of violence and bloodshed as well, and that, combined with the drugs and terrorism, probably mean this is aimed at the older end of the YA market.
