Very easy and fun read, not a single boring moment. I kept trying to guess who the murderer was, which kept me engaged the entire story.

I like how the villains were nuanced, and you could understand why they did what they did, making it more realistic.

It wasn’t super original, and some of the plottwists were a bit pridictable. The main character was also a bit too perfect sometimes, but that does also fit the young adult genre. Even though the target audience is teens, I still very much enjoyed it as an adult.

♡ Cold Case 

♡ Small Clues

♡ Murder Board

The plot was a bit cliché but entertaining enough.  It is unfortunate that the US edition had so much edited out, there are just moments that feel skipped over or some parts that seem missing general.  But in the end it was a good story.

I loved the formatting of this book, all the extra details like the schedules, text messages, were all formatted nicely.  It was an entertaining to read, it had twists and turns, an unlikely friendship, a killer hiding in plain sight, and a school project that turned into solving a murder.

Spice Level: n/a

POV: Third Person
