Commentary To Books Into the Dark (Echo Falls #3)
In Echo Falls, secrets buried in the past don't always stay there.In the third book in the Edgar Award–nominated and national bestselling Echo Falls series, Peter Abrahams's talent for building suspense shines as Ingrid embarks on her most harrowing adventure yet. Perfect for middle schoolers looking for a good mystery.
An idyllic day of snowshoeing on Grampy's land with the sheriff's son, Joey, turns out to be less than idyllic when thirteen-year-old super sleuth Ingrid Levin-Hill stumbles on a body lying in the snow.
This discovery sends the town of Echo Falls into a tailspin in which secrets long hidden are revealed and Grampy gets sent to jail. While Ingrid works to clear Grampy's name and uncover what really happened to the man in the snow, she discovers even more secrets she wishes she never knew. Just like the character Gretel, whom Ingid is playing in a local production of Hansel and Gretel, Ingrid must go deep into the darkness to find the truth.
The Kliatt reviewer commented: "I’ve read the two previous Echo Falls mysteries featuring Ingrid (Down the Rabbit Hole and Behind the Curtain) and enjoyed them, but I think this one may be the best of all."

Into the Dark is classified as a young adult fiction read. I do have to agree with that classification. Just because its a young adult fiction novel doesn't mean you cannot enjoy it. It is also the third in a series of mysteries. I had not read the previous two mysteries in the series and still have not read them, let me just tell you that you do not need to read them in order to pick up on the series in this installment. There are a few mentions of previous mysteries during the book but nothingThis is currently the last book in this series, & it was written in 2009. The author has written some other books in the meantime, but I've got to say that I'm hoping this isn't the last we hear from intrepid, Sherlock Holmes-loving eighth grader Ingrid Levin-Hill. She's a great character who manages to deal effectively with a normal (i.e., less than perfect) home life while also getting through school, hanging out with her best friend & boy-who-may-be-more-than-a-friend, playing soccer,
In what I think is the final installment of the Echo Falls mysteries, Ingrid's Grampy is charged with murder and is sitting in jail unwilling to offer the evidence that will prove his innocence. In addition Nigel, Ingrid's beloved companion, runs away and can't be found. Her parents are on their way to a divorce and Ingrid can't figure out how to help all of those she loves. But in true Sherlock Holmes fashion, she begins her own investigation since everyone else seems to believe her Grampy is

This wasn't as painful as the last book. Yeah, that's how I feel about this series. It's not technical details--though some of the similes are a little distracting--but the characters. They fail to grip, which makes it harder for this thriller to thrill. Ingrid, the little *dear,* is less annoying this round, mainly because the plot isn't so transparent, letting her not be too stupid. This time she's trying to prove that her beloved Grampy didn't murder someone. The problem was, I thought he
I have loved just about everything Abrahams has written, and this series has fast become one of my favorite teen/YA type reads...and this book IMHO is the finest of the series. It was written in 2008, and unfortunately a 4th book has not come out yet..I can only hope that Abrahams has plans to continue this series. It is refreshing to read this type of story, with no dystopinan enviorment, no paranormal abilities..just normal people in a normal world being thrust into extroidinary situations.
Probably my favorite of the entire series; I'd actually like to see another book about Ingrid, Nigel, and Grampy.
