Detalles de producto
- “I like the characters…as well as the Hotline for the setting. This is a great mystery.” Tony Schmidt joins the Central Hotline in sunny Bonita Beach, California to improve his listening skills. Shahla Lawton joins the Hotline to fulfill a volunteering requirement for her high school. Neither one expects to get mixed up in a murder investigation. But that is before Shahla’s best friend, Joy, also a listener, is murdered. Tony and Shahla discover that they are able to uncover information that the police can’t. Information about the “inappropriate” callers who haunt the Hotline, and information about other people with a connection to the Hotline who may have hidden motives to kill the beautiful Joy. Questions arise. Will the murderer strike the Hotline again? And if the murderer does strike again, will Shahla be the next target? Although he has been out of college for years, Tony still lives with his college roommate, Josh, and his lifestyle might be described as extended fraternity. Faced with the responsibility of taking calls from people who range from disabled to obsessive to abused to suicidal, and also of helping to solve a murder, Tony finds he has to mature fast. Since this involves admitting that girls like Shahla can be smart and dedicated, and not just underage sex objects, as Josh sees them, the relationship between Tony and Josh may suffer. Tony and Shahla have harrowing adventures together in venues ranging from Southern California to Las Vegas, as they try to distinguish the annoying-but-harmless callers from the dangerous, and figure out whether the murderer might just be somebody not connected with the Hotline.

Action & Adventure Editorial Review
**** The reception for Alan Cook's book is decidedly mixed, reflecting a range of customer experiences that highlight both strengths and weaknesses in the story. The book opens with a slow pace, but some readers note that it picks up momentum and becomes entertaining as it progresses. The narrative centers around Tony, a young man involved in community service at a hotline where he interacts with teenage girls. However, his characterization has drawn criticism, as many reviewers find his interest in a soon-to-be 18-year-old female character uncomfortably inappropriate. While a few readers found moments of enjoyment and entertainment in the book, others struggled with the dullness and lack of depth in both the main character and plot. Some labeled the writing style as uninspired, with a general Consensus that it lacked suspense and complexity. On a positive note, one reader appreciated the nostalgia of returning to the book after previously reading it, finding it enjoyable for its mild mystery and absence of graphic violence. However, the overall portrayal of the characters and the reliance on stereotypes detracted from its appeal for many. Ultimately, while there's potential for readers to find fun and lighthearted aspects within the story, a significant number of critiques point to negative impressions related to the characters, dialogue, and thematic execution. **Pros and Cons:** **
