The puzzles were the best part of this book, like an Indiana Jones raid to find an ancient treasure hidden for over two centuries. Snappy to the point of being choppy, this book is mostly action and not much substance. Tory is impulsive and headstrong and stubborn as only a teenager with the power of canine senses can be. In the end, she gets what she wants, but at what cost? She'll have to learn eventually that the ends don't justify the means.
