It's the first book in the trilogy and I really liked it. Even though I found out the killer before hand, still the book was great. I would highly recommend!

Notes:
- white savior up the wazoo. Are we not going to talk about racial profiling? No intersectional understanding of issues? No?
- slapstick diversity
- ring? Fancy? (Edit: my wife told me the author is from the UK which explains SO MUCH ffs)
- mc is an idiot masquerading as a Ivy League bound high schooler
- what high schooler is doing a CAPSTONE?
- what high schooler has time to do all the bananas sh*t unquestioned?
- HOW did the MC not end up dead with the batsh*t decisions to confront suspects ALONE
- Ethics is calling and they’d like to speak to the MC
-
loses a whole star for the dog dying. Absolutely unnecessary

-
so many things that needed an adult or authority intervention. Date r*pe? Drugs? Teachers getting involved with students? I mean are you serious? I know I’m old but I’m not THAT old



TL;DR: it was a quick, formulaic book with poor character development, questionable motives, and a heaping scoop of racial insensitivity.
