Cold by Mariko Tamaki

isaac_c's review against another edition

3.0

I've really enjoyed what I've read of Mariko Tamaki's graphic novel works, but this felt a little lackluster by comparison.
It's not bad by any means, but it felt like I was reading a middle-grade book despite this being YA. Somewhat thematically appropriate, but the simplicity of its writing and structure felt at odds with the subject matter the whole way through.

Good, fast-paced murder mystery. Sort of meh ending but students are enjoying it.

I found this ok. I loved Todds pov but I feel like the book was missing something.
