A super fun mystery with a charming main character. I was able to find out who the killer was pretty early on but was still enraptured by many mysteries unraveling.
The only things that got me side eying this story is the romance subplot (but it's ya so like, whatever I guess ) and

- white savior up the wazoo. Are we not going to talk about racial profiling? No intersectional understanding of issues? No?
- slapstick diversity
- ring? Fancy? (Edit: my wife told me the author is from the UK which explains SO MUCH ffs)
- mc is an idiot masquerading as a Ivy League bound high schooler
- what high schooler is doing a CAPSTONE?
- what high schooler has time to do all the bananas sh*t unquestioned?
- HOW did the MC not end up dead with the batsh*t decisions to confront suspects ALONE
- Ethics is calling and they’d like to speak to the MC
-
-
TL;DR: it was a quick, formulaic book with poor character development, questionable motives, and a heaping scoop of racial insensitivity.
