Ripped through it in a day. A super enjoyable read with a fast paced, twisty plot very reminiscent of Knives Out. I felt like fleshing out the characters took a little bit of a back seat to the mystery, but you still ended up with a sense of the main characters regardless. Great twist at the end, leading right into book two.

3.5 rounded up.

Writing is entertaining and characters are interesting. It’s not going to change your life or knock your socks off, but still enjoyable.

Great YA - has all the best tropes

Although I have to admit, the whole Emily thing was just ... odd.
