Reading this book is fine until you remember the girl you're reading talk about sleeping with her father, doing drugs, being trained to be a prostitute after kidnapping until you remember this girl is meant to be 10 years old, only 14 by the end of it. I find it horrible to think of a girl in this position, be it at any age, let alone a child going through these vulgar acts and giving her takes on them.
  
A complaint about a bad shuttle driver leads to a kidnapping and possible murder. Meanwhile, FBI agent Christopher Miller is called back to the field for a robbery that is more than it appears. Yes, these two plots cross, and the suspense keeps the pages turning. However, I found the language and gore in the book to be too much for my tastes.

Follow up to 2019s 'Murder Mystery's, with this one seemingly just slipping in with not much in the way of publicity.

It's also a bit of a misnomer this time around - it should really be called 'Kidnap Mystery's - with the Spitzes (who have now quite their jobs and set up a detective agency) caught up in investigating the kidnapping from their own wedding of a returning figure from the 1st movie.

Which, if you've seen, you know what to expect from this.
