A who dun it thriller that sweeps you away from the beginning as a young Asian woman, Juniper Song is leaving a party and is swept into the makings of the crime novels that she loves to read. Juniper is sent to find out if a young lady has been seducing one of her friend's fathers and while in the midst of finding the details she is knocked over the head and left in her car to find more than just her automobile.

There was an extra story line that paralleled the main plot line that involves Juniper and her sister Iris; as the main story is unfolding there are elements that remind Juniper of events from the past and she must deal with them at the same time as she uncovers clues to the real mystery. I think these two stories paralleled a little, but I felt like the could have a little more, it was a little too loose in the comparison that I would have liked.

As a reader, I loved the reminders of Juniper's fascination with a particular writer of thrillers and as she compares her current experiences to the stories that she loves to read. That element added a little extra that I definitely loved.

I would almost categorize this is a YA thriller - there were moments that maybe should be censored, but with the character being a little younger and the drama being just over PG 13, I think readers of the YA genre may like this who dun it.
