Book 2 in the "Friday Barnes, Girl Detective" series by R. A. Spratt, Under Suspicion, continues the tween-fiction-mystery in entertaining directions – including sly asides involving physics ("M-Theory" and "electroweak bosons"), physiology ("benign positional paroxysmal vertigo"), classic myth ("Sisyphean"), and other break-the-vocabulary-list terms. There's snappy dialog, pre-teen pre-romance humor, and cute sleuth action. Fast and fun, like its predecessor!
