That was a fun read. Loved the two protagonists and their interactions a lot. A little sad the side characters in the friends group were not equally fleshed out, there is definitely potential for future installments though. The same applies to the plot. It wasn't anything special, just a messy murder investigation. I liked some fresh approaches to the amateur investigation methods, but in the end, there wasn't enough of it for my taste. And it was pretty obvious to me who the murderer was, so... yeah. But I loved the writing. Not only the way Alice's and Iris' friendship progressed, but also the use of social media. It was really well done.
