This truly is a pretty awful book. The main character, meant to seem intelligent, is quite thick. The plot is silly. The foreshadowing is juvenile. I read a lot of YA and kidlit. This one talks down to kids in a way that is not at all appealing. I can't imagine how it ended up published by a reputable publisher.

Christina has been kidnapped and she is being held for ransom. When she is found, her parents and wealthy grandmother do not believe her. Christina knows her kidnappers - one works at a burger joint the other is his wife. There is a third member of the party who isn’t disclosed until the end.
It’s surprising that her grandmother believe Christina staged her own kidnapping - and her family plays along with it.
Also the entrance of Kelly and his involvement is purposefully suspicious.
The very end - when Christina solves the case and refuses her grandmother’s trust fund - is strong! Maybe unrealistic.

Maybe if I read this when I was younger I would have enjoyed it a little more (or not, considering how silly it is). However, the plot and characters were extremely boring
