Alicia is the girl who seems so perfect that you can’t help but love her
and hate that you love her—she plays the violin with prodigy-level skill, gets
good grades, is great with kids, and somehow finds free time to be social. And
then she disappears. Riley is approached by the lead suspect to help prove her
innocence, and, against all odds, this leads Riley to uncover how much goes on
under the surface of her high school.
Though technically the third in a series, Out of Tune can
stand alone, as books in the Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden series. This is a
standard mystery with good action, multiple possible suspects, and an
impossible situation that the kid detective is able to figure out before the
adults and professionals. Overall, I enjoyed the read because it is a new
mystery to solve, but there is nothing especially amazing about Out of Tune that
can’t be said for other mystery novels.
