3.75 out of 5.

To be honest, I think this is probably the weakest of Karen's books but I still had a decent time reading it.

The way the mystery started to twist and turn towards the end of the book felt a little rushed and all over the place.

Every author has at least one dud, so hopefully You'll Be The Death of Me and One Of Us Is Back get back into her usual standard.

I enjoyed this YA novel and was a bit surprised about the ending.
