♡ Cold Case 

♡ Small Clues

♡ Murder Board

The plot was a bit cliché but entertaining enough.  It is unfortunate that the US edition had so much edited out, there are just moments that feel skipped over or some parts that seem missing general.  But in the end it was a good story.

I loved the formatting of this book, all the extra details like the schedules, text messages, were all formatted nicely.  It was an entertaining to read, it had twists and turns, an unlikely friendship, a killer hiding in plain sight, and a school project that turned into solving a murder.

Spice Level: n/a

POV: Third Person

Release Date: 05, January 2021

Rep: BIPOC (Main Character and Side Characters), Lesbian (Side Character)

somehow this was even better listening to the audiobook??? I’ve never gotten through an audiobook so quickly. I’ve set a new personal record!!! that’s what happens when you spend the entire day crocheting I suppose.

my only issue with this is how unrealistic it felt at times (mainly when it came to suspects casually confessing things they probably shouldn’t be to a random high school student), hence why my rating is slightly lower than it was when I first read it (where it was a 4.75). apart from that, I’m back in my agggtm era and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

(yes I deleted my old review because um what was that??? 😀)

Detective stories aren’t my genre. But this thing was incredible!!! I wasn’t sure about the format and as I said even the genre when I started but it was on our book club challenge. It took a little time but the way this story GRABBED me by the neck and didn’t let go was unreal! I stayed up till 2 am listening to it and had it on 1,75 speed just cause I couldn’t bare to not know what happened next faster!! Seriously even if this isn’t what you usually go for give it a try. This book might’ve convinced me to read more detectives stories!
