One of the author's best works to date! The main three characters are all so lovable and I found myself actually caring about their relationships. Furthermore, the mystery had me enthralled - I couldn't wait to uncover everybody's secrets. For me, the pacing was near perfect, though I would have liked more development for some of the characters to make the ending more believable.

A simple young-teen true crime. Ferris Bueller (so self aware there was a cheeky reference thrown in) meets S1 Riverdale. Takes place in one day and is a quick read with a heavy focus on character relationships, and less so on the crime that attempts to be interwoven through the world our author sets up. The three main characters are fun, but peripheral characters weren’t fleshed out enough to get me excited to read about them in any follow-up sequels, such as close recommendation “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder”. Overall, I enjoyed reading this casually over a few sittings, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a sleuth-y, but not too dark read.
