Continuing from the last story, Framed and Dangerous features an old fire and a new fire, and the girls must put aside their differences to solve the mystery and get Zane out of trouble.

This book is a little more layered than the other stories; along with the present mystery and a seemingly similar mystery from the past, it also deals with miscommunication between friends and even a touch of romance. Many of the characters introduced in past books make an appearance and some play a part in solving the mystery.

Similar to the other books, an observant reader will be able to solve the mystery before the resolution. Fans of mysteries will enjoy.

Norah and Darcy have been friends forever, but now they are not speaking and Partners in Crime is no longer. But when the school's field house is burned down and Norah's almost-boyfriend, Zane is accused of starting the fire Noran and Darcy are on the case.

I like this series. Norah and Darcy are fun. They are so different from each other but they always come through for each other. I like their friends too. I also like that the adults in this series are not just afterthoughts but are really present in the lives of the kids in the story.I am looking forward to more adventures with Partners in Crime. ( )
