This book didn't quite meet my expectations, but it was pretty good. The mystery aspect was done very well, and I liked some of the characters.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a mystery-crime read.

I did like the book; it was a quick read with short chapters and very fast-paced. it was just a little too nancy drew-y for me. I’ve had agggtm recommended to me sooo much that I was just expecting more, I guess. overall, enjoyable, but there just weren’t the unexpected twists and turns and jaw-dropping moments that I enjoy in thrillers.
