Great little YA mystery. I did feel like the ending was rushed and not 100% solved and confirmed enough for me. It basically was, but also it could have been other things. It was a fascinating book with a high school senior as the main protagonist/detective trying to figure out who killed their teacher over four years prior and then there were lots of other twists and turns that came from it. I also thought that there was a LOT that was maybe a tad too much for all in one story, but overall it was an enjoyable book, fast paced, and an easy listen.

3 ⭐️ A teacher is killed in the school woods and three of his students find him. Years later the mystery is still unsolved. As the school plans a memorial, pieces start to come together, as do the people who were or were not involved, until they decide to work together to figure out what really happened to their beloved teacher who for some reason has no past at all.

I’m not sure why but I found this one much harder to get through than her other books. I’m a bit disappointed in the overall character arcs and their development through the book. I didn’t find myself really caring about any of them, which is usually a reason I would put down a book. I finished it, but had to make myself read the final chapters.
