It was only a few weeks ago that Aphra Connolly’s life changed completely. She had been living a quiet existence on her father’s secluded island resort, until Seth Mulo turned up and stole her heart . . . and provided information that led her to find her mom in Seattle. But the reunion isn’t quite what she expected. Aphra’s mom, Natalie, doesn’t seem happy to see Aphra, and Natalie’s boyfriend, Joe, insists that Aphra go home. Even worse, Seth shows up, only to ask her to return the ring he gave her the previous summer. At least Natalie’s hunky neighbor is sympathetic. But when Joe is found dead at a nearby coffee shop, Aphra discovers her whole trip to Seattle has been based on a lie. And now someone just might be trying to kill her. . . .

Grades 7-10 Gerber continues her Death By series as teenage Aphra Connolly finds her elusive mother in Seattle. Then who should turn up but Aphras friend/boyfriend Adam/Seth, desperate to reclaim the ring he gave her, which is needed to save his fathers life. The story is tissue-thin, but Gerber keeps the action churning, with secret agents, explosions, and a dizzying assortment of escapesby plane, by foot, and even by kayak. Readers will find more of what they liked in Death by Bikini (2008), and an epilogue will assure them that theres still a good deal to come.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
