McManus writes a story of three kids who get an unwelcome visit from a murder they stumbled upon in the past.
Coming across the body of one of their teachers, a trio's lives are changed forever. Years later after the case has run cold, one of their former classmates moves back to investigate and solve the murder as part of internship. Enter Brynn, a girl looking to polish her application to Northwestern by coming back to a town she left all those years ago with an unfinished romance and a murder waiting to be solved. Secrets are unveiled and she finds herself wondering if her teacher was who she thought he was.
McManus knows how to write a mystery that makes you pause and think, and think in your free time. When you think you know who it is, a twist comes and shows you you're flat out wrong and sends you spinning in confusion. But she pulls you back in anyway, eager to learn who did it.We don't know who actually killed Larkin, though we do have a strong suspicion—which made sense to me

For a YA detective this was quite nice. Too bad for the sort of open ending but I liked the build up.

4.25/5 Very enjoyable characters, interesting story, but not as twisty or suspenseful as some of her others.
