Ending was action-packed and left me intrigued enough that I might eventually read the next book, but it took me over half the book to really get into it.  Some parts were pretty dark too (content warnings are the most I can do without completely spoiling it --- it was just overall a very tense and very sad read at times).  Plot twists surrounding the investigation were fun, though.

Love love loved this book! I first heard about it on tiktok and knew immediately the story was going to grip me - and it did. If it wasn't for sleep, I would have read the entire thing in one sitting. Cannot wait for the next!

I borrowed the us version from my library but didn't know it so I got super thrown off when everyone was speaking like a brit and then they said they lived in Connecticut.

A super fun mystery with a charming main character. I was able to find out who the killer was pretty early on but was still enraptured by many mysteries unraveling. 

The only things that got me side eying this story is the romance subplot (but it's ya so like, whatever I guess ) and

why didnt mr ward just delete/steal her research when he broke into her room

One of the best murder mystery books I've read! Just when I thought I'd figured it out, there was more information to keep me guessing.
