Of course, the main characters are largely autonomous from parental oversight. The text combines a 11th grade girl and a freshman boy. The combination of a HS crime reporter and a brain is good for a few laughs. The story puts forth multiple crime suspects and the reader and the characters are trying to solve the case of the same time. There are glimpses of the abducted throughout the novel, but only enough is shown to build the drama of the story.

The story is regional, including multiple references to the Mississippi River. The story is a who-done-it worth having in a classroom library.
