Summary: sophie and sam - a detective duo unmatched!
Review: I loved the Chocolate Lover by ME Rabb. It had intrigue, history, love connections, and yes - my favorite part: nonsense scrabble! It is obvious that Sophie and Sam share a unique bond, but one that we can all relate to - especially teenage girls who are trying to find their place in the world. They also bring a sense of humor to every occasion, which we all need. Bravo to M.E. Rabb for taking the plunge into a world of teenage girls and mastering it with wit & grace.

Summary: Sophie and Sam Are So Cool!
Review: Sophie is like my best friend - funny, smart, and crazy about nail polish and boys. I would be scared if I ran away from home, like she did, and didn't know anyone - but she's not scared, she's a heroine! Her new life in the weird mid-west is an adventure. I love Sophie & can't wait for the next book!

Summary: Fantastic Addition to the Series
Review: Summer is over, and real life is starting for the runaway Shattenberg sisters. Sophie has just begun high school, and is finding that the social hierarchy is different in Venice, Indiana, than it was in Queens, New York. While Sam, on the other hand, is doing her best to be a great assistant to private investigator, Gus. When Gus takes on a new case, trying to locate a woman named Ruth Rivka Brauner, whose been missing since 1947, for Professor Leo Shattenberg, Sophie and Sam's interest runs deeper than finding the missing woman. It also makes them wonder if Leo Shattenberg could be their long, lost relative.
I was a huge fan of the first book in THE MISSING PERSONS series, THE ROSE QUEEN, and thought that no future book in this series could compare to that, but I was wrong. THE CHOCOLATE LOVER is a fantastic addition to the series. As usual, we get to view the goings on of everyone's favorite runaway teenagers, while at the same time, we're introduced to some new characters, such as Sophie's new best friend, Mackenzie. Fans of THE ROSE QUEEN will be enthralled with THE CHOCOLATE LOVER and find themselves grappling for the next book in the series. A must have!

Summary: Wonderful second book in the Missing Persons series.
Review: The Shattenberg sisters, Sophie and Sam, are settling into their new lives and new identities in Venice, Indiana, all the while hoping their past won't catch up with them. Sophie has just started at her new high school and Sam has a job working for a local private detective. When they meet Leo Shattenberg, a professor at a local college, they wonder if he might be a long-lost relative. While they try to find out if they are related to Leo, the sisters take on a new missing persons case, searching for Leo's long lost love, Ruth Brauner, who disappeared in 1947, and who may be connected to the theft of Holocaust artwork.
This book was a wonderful continuation of the Missing Persons series. Sophie's chatty narrative adds charm and wit to the book. I highly recommend this series to teen readers, whether they are mystery fans or not.
