I legit read this book in one day! I am obsessed with this story line! AND THAT ENDING. omg. I was NOT expecting it. As far as I was concerned EVERY character was the killer ;) I give it 5 stars because this has started my love for Holly Jackson books and I will be getting the second one ASAP!

Cute murder mystery that was fun to read! Honestly didn't think it was anything special tbh, but it didn't have anything specific wrong with it. It picked up for me around the 80% mark and it did have some original plot points that made it enticing to read.
Although I could have done without her dog getting murdered! Like there were other threats that would have worked too. :(

I love the way Holly Jackson, the author, provides maps and visuals in her books, like the capstone notes and her suspicion list. This book is quite fast-paced and perfect for people in a reading slump and personally got me back into the reading jam. I got very engaged in the story and characters and this book is very fun to reread as you can pick out the easter eggs and little quirks of the suspects and connect them with the end of the book. The mystery and the action kept me turning the pages, excited for what's next. A great start to the series and I'm excited to continue!
