Whew!  If you are going to commit a crime it is helpful to have a sister who is a lawyer.  Well, even if you aren't going to commit a crime having a sister who is a lawyer would still be a good thing - you never know when you will need legal assistance.   And when you were abducted as a child, have multiple

personalities that enabled you to cope with the memories of the horrendous experience and in your 20s go all obsessive over your very married college English profesor so much to the point one of your personalities is writing him extreme love letters, oh yeah, and he turns up dead - then you are really going to need that sister who just happens to be a lawyer.   Another good plot line.   I would recommend this book to middle-schoolers on up.   Learn early to be mindful of strangers - STRANGER DANGER!!!    And this one takes a lot of twists and turns too.   Lots of baddies to choose from and that old adage about a woman scorned?  Yeah.  .
