Vanishing Act: Mystery at the U.S. Open by John Feinstein - ADVISABLE

Feinstein, John Vanishing Act: Mystery at the U.S. Open, 256 p. Knopf 

MS - ADVISABLE

Stevie and Susan Carol are covering another major sports event as they pursue their dreams of becoming major sports reporters. This time they are at the U.S. Open of tennis, where a major star disappears as she is approaching the court for her first game. Never kids to turn down a great mystery, the two do their best to expose the truth behind the kidnapping. 

This novel is as engaging as the author’s first, with loads of information about sports reporting, tennis professionals and the seedy world of athlete agents. The action is engaging enough that even if people recognize that there are major flaws in the background logic, they will be willing to forgive because the read was so much fun.
