Narration During Books Behind the Curtain (Echo Falls #2)

"A terrific yarn, full of smart detection and hip good humor" (Stephen King)

Behind the Curtain is the second book in the Echo Falls mystery series by bestselling crime novelist Peter Abrahams, following the acclaimed Down the Rabbit Hole. Perfect for middle school readers looking for a good mystery.

In this "deliciously plotted, highly satisfying adventure" (Kirkus), the Sherlock Holmes-loving eight-grade heroine, Ingrid, starts to see some alarming signs of trouble in her home. Her dad is surfing the internet in search of a job when Ingrid had no idea his job was in jeopardy. Her brother, Ty, is trying to succeed on the high school football team—perhaps at the cost of his health. And Ingrid's beloved soccer coach is replaced by an icy newcomer who seems a little too savvy to be in it for the postgame pizza.

True to her hero, Sherlock Holmes, Ingrid begins fishing around to find out who's really pulling the strings in her hometown of Echo Falls. But one morning, while en route to the dreaded MathFest, Ingrid is kidnapped and locked in the trunk of a car. Even if she escapes, will anyone believe her story?

The third and final book in this Edgar Award-nominated series is Into the Dark.

Crit About Books Behind the Curtain (Echo Falls #2)
Decent follow up, nice normal characters mostly, making it believable... some fairly obvious plots, but then I'm not ten years old.Will follow through with third.

surprised Stephen King gave this a good review.

You are thirteen years old. You wake up to the sound of a blaring alarm. You look over at your clock and see it is eight thirty a.m. You jump up remembering you have Mathfest in thirty minutes and run downstairs. Once into the kitchen, you see that everyone has left so you have to ride your bike to Mathfest. Your heart is beating a mile a minute as you enter the garage to retrieve your bike. As you go to get your bike a hand wraps duct tape around your eyes and mouth and your whole world goes

I'm not much a fan of Ingrid as I am trying to figure out the mystery behind each book. Ingrid is a little bland but otherwise how she finds the clues and solves mysteries is why I continue to read the series.

I did not think this book was a good read. This book was not intresting because it did not give a detailed description of what was going on. This made me not able to create a mental picture. I also thought this book was not intresting because the author did not drag me into the book. Also it did not catch my intrest and there was no surprises that made me wounded what would happen next. This made the book very hard to read. I think that this book was not as good as the first and that the first

A modern day Nancy Drew. Even though it is a youth book, I don't feel like the author is writing down to his audience. It's as good as any Abrahams book written for adults, only the mode of transportation and the daily concerns of the protagonist are different. No matter the crime Ingrid is investigating, math class still rates as a top concern. Fun for a light mystery read.

Fantastic narration. Colleen Delaney is a treat
