A trip to get their dream car turns into a murder mystery/thriller that takes these four teens into Mexico. I honestly went into this book not really knowing much about it, but the writing is strong and the story engaging. We get some strong character development in the main characters, as well as a glimpse into life for these teens living near the Mexican border.
Flaco and his friends are desperate to find any information that proves that their friend is innocent. The mystery is compelling, the pacing is pretty well done, and you'll enjoy the complexity of the main characters. My only complaint is that maybe there was a little too much going on, at times? But other than that, an entertaining read.
