“I think something might have happened to me Saturday night. Something bad.”
Private Investigator Dani Ripper’s client list is nuttier than the Looney Tunes conga line, but she diligently solves one crazy case after another, waiting for a game-changer.
Enter Riley Freeman, 17-year-old honor student.
Saturday afternoon Riley quietly placed a little strawberry sticker on her private area and pretended it was a tattoo. She didn’t tell anyone about it. That night she went to a slumber party that featured drinking and boys. Riley fell asleep, woke up the next day with no reason to think anything happened…
…Until Monday, at school, when a classmate called her Strawberry.
Coincidence or crime? Dani agrees to investigate. And the roller coaster ride begins.
My Thoughts
The style this book is written in will be a love it or hate it kind of thing. I think if your not into it by the first few chapters your not going to like this book.
The story I liked, it was a bit far fetched but I did like the way it all came together. While I found many parts amusing which I felt it needed for the serious story under the humour, I do feel a more serious ending might of been better (not sure it just didn't feel real). The story had a fast pace and moved along quickly, I was always left wanting more. it was very quirky and I enjoyed the writing style.
The characters I did really like, I loved Dani the way she talks and thinks about things, the way she interacts with people is very enjoyable. But Riley and the teenagers just felt very unreal, that acted so mature and there is no way they could of put this plan together.
I just found this a very quick enjoyable read, I can see why some people didn't enjoy it but I have a very sarcastic sense of humour and loved how this book was written.
I would say give this book a go, its clever in the way its done but unbelievable at the same time. I enjoyed this book very much and will but buying more of John Locke's books.
I give this book 4 out of 5
