A Nancy Drew/ Veronica Mars style murder mystery in a small sleepy English town where everyone knows everyone and hiding a secret is hard.
  
When Pippa decides to do a school project on the mysterious death of a local teen from five years ago, she finds that her questions won't go unanswered quietly or safely. 
  
Together with the alleged killer's brother, Ravi, Pippa delves into a quest that will leave her and her loved ones lives be changed forever. 
  
Holly Jackson starts this series off with a bang with this book. Using different styles to tell the story (diagrams, transcripts) the characters develop a depth and personas that really get the reader involved.

This is the most fun book I've read in a very long time, and by far the best mystery book I have ever read. I was thoroughly engaged the entire time and couldn't put it down! I got through it so fast. So many twists and turns, it constantly kept me guessing. SUCH a fun and engaging read.
