I would give the book 4.5 stars because it was really good just a little more violent then I thought it was going to be. Good for fans of One of Us is Lying and One of Us is Next. There was lots of plot twists and overall I liked it.

Sometimes, I will really dig deep into my next novel, and sometimes, I go in with no information. I read very little of the description and I was pleasantly surprised. Murder, scandal, abuse, and a pretty good story.
Murder mysteries come a dime a dozen. They start off with characters you hate, salacious behavior, then someone bites it and you figure out the killer, but The Agatha’s was more than that, as the story starts with Alice. Spoiled (check), rich (check) but her character proves she much more than that towards the end.
She does the spoiled brat thing when her boyfriend dumps her and disappears for five days and then suddenly returns. But on Halloween, when her ex-best friend (Brooke), who’s now with the boyfriend that dumper her (Steve), goes missing.
Enter Iris Adams who would be Alice’s tutor and become a likely ally and friend. Alice and Iris bond over the death of Brooke, and it’s when the ex-boyfriend (Steve) is arrested for the murder that they band together with Iris’s friends to find out what happened to Brooke on that faithful Halloween night.
A small town with a history of secrets and lies, as unsuspecting Alice and Iris are about to enter a world where they would face danger and the killer behind it all. This was a great audiobook to listen to, and it ran a total of 10 hours.

I DEVOURED this book.
When a book mentions it’s like Veronica Mars, I am there. V Mars has been my jam since it came onto the scene almost 20 years ago.
Iris and Alice are not friends. They don’t run in the same circles. But they are thrown together because of some strange circumstances.
With characters that to me felt so similar to both Veronica Mars and Buffy, an interesting murder mystery, lots of Agatha Christie quotes, and a compelling plot, this book hit all the needs.
I don’t read YA often, but when I do, let it be this good.

I want more! I liked the set up of two girls without much in common, and for them both to have negative flaws but still liked them. The plot was good fast paced and I was moderately invested. I would def read more!
