i quite enjoyed this book! the ending was really well done in my opinion and i liked the mixed media element of it all.

the only thing that i found a bit odd was that the main character is doing all this for a freaking school project and she is acting like a detective plus gains access to a lot of personal information about all suspects.
but i guess that is part of this being YA bc how else would she be so young and solving a case without the police.

overall as i said highly entertaining book and i will hopefully read the sequels to this one day.

Excellent mystery. I thought I knew what was happening and who was responsible and I was only partially right! I was very drawn to the story and kept picking it up because I couldn’t wait to see what would happen!

It’s a great read and now I’m going to have to do the whole series 🤷🏼‍♀️

Im not a mystery gal but when i saw one of my friends read this and enjoyed i just had to. This book was phenomenal. I was glued to it and definitely helped me recover from my sad reading slump. It makes me want to read the whole shebang again 

<spoiler warning>
When they went into her house and you saw Andie’s room i just felt the tiniest bit sorry . Even after all the horrible stuff she did at the end of the day she was still somebodys daughter and the rest of the family did not deserve her

<spoiler warning > 
 Also the dog thing was uncalled for. That sent shivers up my spine. 


<spoiler warning> 
Ok but the Ravi and pip relationship was just AEHSHSB GORGEOUS the vocabulary and the way they are mates and when Ravi goes don't worry im her when pip is upset is just again ABUD DNZ CHEFS KISS

THE PLOT TWIST IS AMAZING. I was like "Huh? HUH?" I cannot put this book down, it's like calling me to finish it (It took 3 days for me to finished it) One of a thing that make me like this book is that this book is a page turner. AND MY SWEETHEART, RAVISHING YAAAASSSSS

I listened to this book and really enjoyed the presentation of it. It was a nice touch to hear the interviews and get to know characters through them.
