The Running Path is a nice tale of suspense that would be suitable for ages 13 and up. It is not scary but there are a lot of twists and turns that will keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next to this modern day Nancy Drew. It is very easy to get involved with the characters in the book and I would like to see more books written by Lisa Miller containing the characters of Abby and Paul.
