I loved the book. Hated the movie. Miley Cyrus could not capture the complexity of Ronnie.

This is a quite enjoyable murder mystery set in London following John Coffin as he tries to solve the disappearance of a Terror Tour and locate a missing boy while protecting his department from the politicians and keeping his social life on track. Although the story had many twists and turns and plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing I found I couldn't connect to the characters that well, for reasons I'm not sure of. They were all well written and had enough depth to make them seem fairly realistic but there was just something about them that didn't work, that came across a bit stilted and fake (although that could be due to the fact that a lot of them were performers of some sort or another). Overall this wasn't a bad read and the story is pretty good but it was just lacking a little something, which held it back a little.
Ann Brashares went back to her successful formula with this one. It chronicles a summer for three childhood friends as they all deal with various issues. One major difference is that one of the characters is an African American. I found the stories and characters less compelling in this book than the Sisterhood books and somehow lacked the magic. It was still a nice, quick satisfying read but I had expected better.
