Sweet Valley University Thriller Edition: Wanted for Murder

On the one hand, I kind of like this book because it follows the continuity of the series; no more 300 spring break and Christmas events in a single school year. On the other hand, it needs another title, something like “Liz, stop giving your sister everything she wants”. Liz and Jess are driving to Vail to spend the rest of Christmas break with Danny, Isabelle and Tom. Tom keeps getting worried because Liz and Jess are making the drive alone. Billie and Steven were originally part of the group, but Steven got sick so the twins have to drive alone. The others are flying out, which I can’t see Jessica allowing. Liz explains that everything will be fine because they have $500 each to spend on the trip. Um, does anyone else think that is not enough money? Supposedly they’re staying at a fancy hotel, paying for their own equipment and lift tickets, plus gas and hotel rooms on the drive there and back. Plus they’re staying in Vail for a week! Oh well, the twins would probably win the lotter
