I really enjoyed this book! I'm working my way through Agatha Christie's work so this was extra fun. I didn't figure out the who-dun-it until later in the book, which is always a plus. I appreciate the domestic abuse part of the book as well. It added another layer to the book as did Alice's disappearance mystery. I also loved most of the characters. I really hope that there's a sequel, as the ending seemed open to that!

If you're looking for a YA mystery to start off your summer with, this is a great twisty one! Just when you think you have the mystery figured out, something will happen to make you second guess yourself. I also thoroughly enjoyed the references to Agatha Christie, even though I've never read an Agatha Christie book in my life.
That being said, I think it was slightly longer than it needed to be? At times, the story seemed to drag a little. But it all lead to a fun conclusion, one that will definitely keep you on your feet.
