What Happened to Cass McBride? by Gail Giles

Simple and easy to read but not worth the hour or so you spend on it.

It lacks complexity and suspense. There is no real end or solution, it just finishes. The characters have no real depth or flavor.

Grade: D-

Synopsis
Kyle Kirby has planned a cruel and unusual revenge on Cass McBride, the most popular girl in school, for the death of his brother David. He digs a hole. Drugs Cass. Kidnaps her. Puts her in a box-underground. He buries her alive. But Kyle makes a fatal error: Cass knows the power of words. She uses fear as her weapon to keep her nemesis talking - and to keep herself breathing during the most harrowing 48 hours of her life
