5.0 out of 5 stars Danger on a Movie Set, July 7, 2003

This review is from: Shroud of the Lion (The Accidental Detectives Series #5) (Paperback)

The Accidental Detectives are thrilled to be invited to stay with famous movie star Jericho Stone and be extras in his new movie. That is, until they reach LA. Within minutes of arriving, they've been kidnapped. Jericho's assurances that it was a mistake just raise more questions. But why are their kidnappers hanging around the set? Ricky is convinced something is up. But can he figure it out and keep his friends safe?

This book grabbed me right from the first chapter and I couldn't put it down. I especially enjoyed reading about LA, since I was familiar with many of the landmarks mentioned. There were several places where I was laughing one moment and turning pages quickly to find the next clue a moment later, always something I appreciated about this series.

These books are perfect summer reading, fun and suspense in one convenient package.
