Ingrid hates her name, but loves acting, soccer, and her red Pumas. After an orthodontist visit one day, her mom is a little late picking her up, and she doesn't want to miss practice. She decides to run to the soccer fields, but gets lost, ending up at the house of local crazy lady, Cracked-Up Katie. Against her better judgment, she goes into Katie's house and lets her call Ingrid a cab. Katie acts strangely when Ingrid tells her she's into acting, and Ingrid hears footsteps upstairs, even though Katie lives alone. The next day, Katie is found murdered. In an attempt to stay out of trouble, Ingrid doesn't tell anyone she's just been at Katie's house, and she begins to pile lie upon lie.
I was so stressed out for Ingrid throughout this book--you know she hasn't done anything wrong, but you're so scared the police won't believe that if she gets caught. While it's no great surprise to the reader who the killer is, it is definitely a surprise to Ingrid, and it's great fun watching her piece together the clues.
