Loved this novel about an episodic true crime documentary told through scripts, emails, and screenshots! The interesting format keeps the action moving along, and I loved how each episode ended with a mic drop. I really had no idea who murdered Luke Ryder in 2003, the stepfather of the documentary's director. Lots of twists! I hadn't read this author before, but I'll have to try another book by Hunter.
Would be good for high school students, too.
