A murder mystery at a Scrabble tournament in Malaysia, and it's exactly as amazing as the concept sounds. Even more amazing that the characters were majority Muslim and it mattered to their characterization but not in a one-dimensional way. Hooray!

I thought at first I was going to dnf this because I wasn’t enjoying it as much when not much was happening. It might’ve also been bc the audio book I listened to for this wasn’t very good. But I’m glad I did!
This is The Queens Gambit meets Pretty Little Liars + They Wish They Were Us with an unreliable narrator.
A year after Trina Low suddenly dies during a scrabble competition, her best friend Najwa starts competing again. Her and her Trina’s ex-boyfriend, Mark, come to the realisation that Trina’s death might not have been natural and suspect she might’ve been murdered after Trina’s Instagram becomes active again.
