I'm not sure if I read the same book as some of the 5 star raters.  I found this book to be simplistic and childishly written.  Some of the characters were so annoying, including Sloane herself, that I wanted to yell at them sometimes.  The teenager was horrid, and I don't enjoy reading about horrid teenagers unless I bought a book about them (which I never do).  Sloane is so full of herself that it's like eating sugar; hard to swallow.  I haven't read any other books by this author, and bought this because it was on special, but there is nothing special about it.  It goes into great detail about some things that have nothing important to do with the plot, such as the contents of her refrigerator.  The adjectives used to describe things were also more along the lines of a romance novel - lustrous hair, strong but slender build.  I hung in there just to see how it ended, and I did enjoy the twist at the end, but one reviewer said there were twists and turns every moment, and that's just not true.  Also, is "on line" now as accepted as "in line", as in she waited on line versus she waited in line?  Made me shudder.  Too much hurry then wait...too much that the Sloane character did without any help, as if the police and FBI were just twiddling their thumbs, therefore, not too believable.  i won't be buying any more of her books.
