This book was so fun! I couldn’t put it down and ended up reading until 4am. For a YA book, it’s better written with more realistic relationships and twists than most adult thriller/mysteries today. I loved the growing friendship between the two main characters, and hope there’s a sequel or series in the works!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Children's for the digital ARC of 'The Agathas' by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson.
I will admit that this book is one I didn't think I would normally pick up for myself - despite my love for crime and mystery reads. I had so many students over the past week tell me that they were looking forward to this book coming out, and asked if I was going to be getting it for the Mystery section in the classroom library. I decided to give it a shot, and was impressed. I really enjoyed diving into the worlds of Alice and Iris.The book definitely had twists I wasn't 100% expecting, and I definitely enjoyed the misdirection in the novel... the clues were all there waiting to be pieced together - just like with Miss Marple or Inspector Poirot!

Słodkie są te nawiązania do Christie, ale chyba wewnętrznie liczyłam na jakieś bardziej szczegółowe, niż cytat przed każdym rozdziałem i powtarzające się zdanie "tak było w książkach Christie". Sama akcja natomiast nie wciągnęła mnie mocno, marzyłam żeby przyśpieszyła i coś mnie zszokowało.
