Product Description:

I don't mean to get into trouble. Trouble just sort of finds me.


Grace has been shipped off to stay with her diplomat Grandpa in the glittering Embassy Row, a place where trespassing into the wrong garden can cause an international incident. Grace knows the rules - she's ignored them before - but however much she wants to change, she can't. Not while she's certain of three things:

1. She isn't crazy.
2. Her mother was murdered.
3. Someday she's going to find the man with the scar, and then she is going to make him pay.

About the Author:
Ally Carter writes books about spies, thieves, and teenagers. She is the New York Times best-selling author of the hugely popular Gallagher Girls series, including I'd Tell You I Love You but Then I'd Have to Kill You, Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover, and Only the Good Spy Young.

She lives in the Midwest where her life is either very ordinary or the best deep-cover legend ever. She'd tell you more, but...well...you know.

Initial thoughts: Fun audiobook to listen to, which also distracted me from my cough, sore throat and fever today. Narration was good and kept me engaged, such that I kept awake even through my drowsiness. Grace was an intense character right from the beginning, sucking me into her world. Her friends could've been better developed, though. Despite Grace's intensity, I felt that the mystery was surprising light-hearted. Yes, I could see why things were upsetting to her but at the same time, the reasons weren't dealt with on a deep enough level. At least there were hints towards the end that the sequel will take care of those questions.
