About this ebook

“I think something might have happened to me Saturday night. Something bad.”

Private Investigator Dani Ripper’s client list is nuttier than the Looney Tunes conga line, but she diligently solves one crazy case after another, waiting for a game-changer.

Enter Riley Freeman, 17-year-old honor student.

Saturday afternoon Riley quietly placed a little strawberry sticker on her private area and pretended it was a tattoo. She didn’t tell anyone about it. That night she went to a slumber party that featured drinking and boys. Riley fell asleep, woke up the next day with no reason to think anything happened...

...Until Monday, at school, when a classmate called her Strawberry.

Coincidence or crime? Dani agrees to investigate. And the roller coaster ride begins.

John Locke

John Locke kommt 1632 im englischen Wrington zur Welt. Nach dem Besuch der Westminster School in London studiert Locke bis 1658 in Oxford. Zwischen 1660 und 1664 lehrt er dort Philosophie, Rhetorik und alte Sprachen. Sein enzyklopädisches Wissen und seine Studien in Erkenntnistheorie, Naturwissenschaften und Medizin bringen ihm früh die Mitgliedschaft in der Royal Society ein. Als Sekretär und Leibarzt des Earl of Shaftesbury ist Locke in Folge der politischen Machtkämpfe in England gezwungen, ins holländische Exil zu fliehen. Erst 1689 kehrt er nach England zurück und widmet sich auf seinem Landgut seinen Studien. Im selben Jahr erscheint anonym Ein Brief über Toleranz, der die ausschließliche Aufgabe des Staates im Schutz von Leben, Besitz und Freiheit seiner Bürger bestimmt. Die hier formulierten Ideen finden in der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung ihren politischen Widerhall. Lockes Hauptwerk, der Versuch über den menschlichen Verstand, erscheint erst 1690 vollständig, wird aber vermutlich bereit 20 Jahre früher begonnen. Es begründet die Erkenntnistheorie als neuzeitliche Form des Philosophierens, die besonders in der französischen Aufklärung nachwirkt. Locke lehnt darin Descartes' Vorstellung von den eingeborenen Ideen ab und vertritt einen konsequenten Empirismus. Aus der theoretischen Einsicht in die Begrenztheit der Erkenntnisfähigkeit ergibt sich für Locke die Forderung, daß sich weder ein Staatssouverän noch eine Glaubensgemeinschaft im Besitz der allein gültigen Wahrheit wähnen darf. Der mündige Bürger, der in der Lage ist, kritisch selbst zu entscheiden, wird konsequenterweise zum pädagogischen Ziel Lockes. John Locke stirbt 1704 als europäische Berühmtheit auf seinem Landsitz in Oates.

    A lot of divided reviews, so I'll put in my five cents worth.
    I give it four stars. No, this is not great literature, far from it. I mean, c'mon, "Dani Ripper"? What did you expect? What it is, is great entertainment. Locke is witty, clever, and tells a good story very well indeed. So, when I want something light, something fun, I'll read him again. And again.

    This book was nothing like a thought it would be. But it was pretty great despite that.

    And I loved that twist at the end, I didn't quite see that coming.

    I like Dani and I'll probably read more of this series. She's smart and sexy and savvy, and so strong. I loved how she was so passionate about catching the bad guys, the predators. I wasn't sure about Riley at first, but by the end she was every bit as amazing as Dani.

    Ethan was vile, absolutely vile. And he was meant to be. I'm just a little disappointed that he didn't get properly punished. What's a few million dollars to someone that rich?

    Overall a great read, which I'd recommend to pretty much anyone. I'd say this is a New Adult Crime Thriller Mystery, what a mix.

    Good read. Light, funny and not always predictable.

    If you read the first ten pages and enjoy the witty dialogue you should read the rest. The plot has more twists and turns than a bowl of spaghetti but the final resolution untangles everything. It will keep you on your toes to keep up and is anything but dull. Have fun !

    I enjoyed reading the book and the aha moments. It was a little too convenient for it all to work. I still didn't like what Riley did even if was to fund a charity. Also I don't think there's a 17 year old who could act and do as Riley did. But I wasn't bored with the book at all.

    I couldn’t stop reading this book because I'm dying to know what really happened during that one night of partying/ teenage drinking. It’s like an episode of CSI, but with a big dose of Nancy Drew and more humor. <--- best way to sum up the book!I am very happy i got this as a kindle freebie...well worth it!Dani is a PI. She does alot of divorce work and is my husband/wife cheating on me work. she pretty much hates it... but always willing to help kids out, taking a case of for free. Since Danni herself is a child crime victim being kidnapped and repeat abused....So when a teenager comes in and tells her she thinks she has been a victim of a crime that she can't remember because of a night of drinking, dani is eager to take on the case.As Dani starts digging in on the case, different things start popping up and alot of questions are asked.Such a great twist at the end i just did not see it coming and it was great... that is all i am goin to say so i dont ruin the book for everyone else... MUST READ!

    Dani Ripper is a great character, a strong and smart PI that is fun to read. There are enough twists and turns in this book, as always, to keep you wondering from the first page to the last. And until you get to the last page, you just don't know for sure what is going on. It is amazing how well all of the small things come into play and add up for a great ending. This is one quick read that ends way too soon.
