    I loved this book right from the beginning. I don't normally read mysteries, but I was thoroughly engaged and trying to figure out who did it. The plot and dialogue seemed very real. The main character, Ruby Neptune, is very cool and gutsy and has some surprises up her sleeve. I look forward to more Ruby Neptune Mysteries.
