I’ve read all of Cara Hunter’s Fawley books and she always includes text messages, internet comments and Tweets etc, but this book is entirely written in script form, including those other things. A really interesting way to write a mystery, compelling and very enjoyable.

  The murderer is pretty obvious from the introduction of the experts if you're paying attention. There were some other twists in the book, but overall, it was a flop for me. Also, most of the characters were unlikable.

Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars
   While I liked having the five narrators, some of them weren't as good as others or became annoying.
