No Brainer

By A.J. Lape

"Darcy is a girl too clever for her own good, playing the cards life has dealt her." ... Snowy Owl

A teenage sleuth's summer of fun turns into a fight for survival.

Darcy hops a plane to Florida for a little R&R with her best friend, Dylan, and his family. But even before her feet hit Orlando soil, the disappearance of a five-year-old boy catches her in its snare. With her inner-verb in beast mode, she joins forces with a local reporter and soon discovers those closest to the boy are guarding more secrets than the Sphinx.

Determined to ferret out the lies, the more she follows the clues, the more secrets she uncovers. Add a separate murder investigation, a mysterious businessman, and a boiling flirtationship with Dylan, and it's one too many mysteries to unravel. Thing is, as the cloak-and-dagger heats up, Darcy's shocked to find Dylan just might hold more secrets than anyone.

As confusion charges from all angles, can she sort things out or will she drown in the sea of lies?

NO BRAINER is the second novel in the Darcy Walker Teenage Sleuth Thrillers. If you enjoy laugh-out-loud humor, nail-biting suspense, with a touch of are-they-or-aren't-they romance, then you'll love A.J. Lape's story and its clever twists.
