Review: "All Fall Down," by Ally Carter

This is my first Ally Carter book, despite listening to raves from my middle school kids for years! And Ally Carter lives in OK - although I'll have to forgive her for her devotion to the OSU Cowboys... :) All Fall Down centers around a sixteen-year-old sassy protagonist named Grace. Her mother was tragically killed in an accident three years prior, and Grace witnessed the whole thing. She swears it wasn't an accident at all, but murder, but her description of that night falls on deaf ears. When she's sent to Embassy Row in Adria where her grandfather is the U.S. Ambassador, Grace sees her mother's killer. Is she going crazy or is there something more sinister going on? Find out in this fast-paced adventure that is the first in a series.
