“It’s all about shoes.” That Ingrid knows for sure. “Sherlock Holmes believed you could find out just about all you needed to know about people from the little things.” Ingrid loves Sherlock Holmes and is herself a bit of a super sleuth detective. At thirteen, her life should be easy. School, soccer, family, and practice for the big production of Alice in Wonderland. It seems, however, that Ingrid can’t keep herself from being in the wrong place at the right time or would it be the right place at the wrong time. Rather than waiting for a ride and being late for soccer practice, Ingrid decides to walk and before she realizes it, she’s in a strange neighborhood and the rain is pouring. Cracked-up-Katie offers to call her a cab and invites her in. Ingrid takes this opportunity to change into her soccrer gear, when the cabbie honks. Ingrid runs out and never sees Katie again. That’s because Katie is found that night… murdered, strangled to death in her own house. Rather than admit she was the last to see Katie alive, Ingrid decides to stay quiet. But wait, why can’t she find her cleats? After ransacking her house, Ingrid remembers where she was the last time she had them. Katie’s. And in order to get them back, she’s going to have to break into Katie’s house, cross the police tape, all alone and in the dark of night. But it won’t be as easy as Ingrid hopes. Because you see, whoever killed Katie doesn’t want the police to stumble upon clues that were left behind. And the killer has decided to break in the same night, same time as Ingrid. All she sees from her hiding spot are a pair of Adidas shoes with green paint splotches. See… It’s all about the shoes…**If you enjoyed Down the Rabbit Hole, check out Ingrid's next adventure in Behind the Curtain.
