Skating Over The Line by Joelle Charbonneau is the second book in the “Rebecca Robbins” mystery series. Publisher: Minotaur Books, September 2011
Rebecca Robbins is desperate to sell her
inherited roller-skating rink in small-town Indian Falls, and—finally—she has a
buyer. She can’t wait to head back to Chicago, especially now that her long
delinquent father has blown back into town, but Lionel, her veterinarian
boyfriend, thinks she should stay put. Also, the gang at the Senior Center
wants her to track down the thief who’s been hot-wiring rusted-out classic
cars. Unable to resist, Rebecca soon has the Sheriff’s Deputy threatening to
arrest her for obstruction, and strange but scary men threatening her life.
Then cars start exploding, with people in them, and Rebecca’s father goes
missing. With the help of Pop, her Elvis-impersonating grandfather, Rebecca
must find the pyromaniac car thief and put a stop to him—before he stops her
first.
All Rebecca wants is to sell the skating rink and return to Chicago, but when Pop’s friend’s car is stolen, Rebecca reluctantly takes the case, only to find the car ablaze. With a visit from her estranged father and being threatened, Rebecca has her hands full trying to find an arsonist car-thief. What a fun read! This was an enjoyable story from the moment I opened the book and read the first line. The mystery kept me turning the pages and the lovable and eccentric characters of Indian Falls entertained me with their humorous antics and engaging dialogue. I look forward to more adventures with Rebecca and gang in this charming and delightful series.
