Definitely left the ending open for more books 👀
Shipped the main characters so hard but I'm thinking they're both straight, unfortunately.

This was a super fun ya murder mystery detective story! I liked the dual pov from these two completely different characters and their unlikely friendship over solving a murder together. I also liked how it was a small town and each girl was from a completely different group/social class, showing small town dynamics between the rich and poor. Additionally, all of the side characters were so loveable and unique, and I would be interested to see more of the side characters (like Spike, Zora, and Neil) in future books. I also loved how focused it was on Agatha Christie, which added a lot of fun moments for those of us mystery lovers! I think that the murder mystery part was well organized and well thought out. I could predict a few things, but overall there were quite a few shocking twists and turns! I think I’m still partial to the Truly Devious series and anything by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, but I thought this one was great as well! The ending made it seem like this would be continued as a series, and I would definitely like to read more books if they are released. Overall, I enjoyed this book, and would definitely recommend it! 

Age rating: 14+ (violence, language, no sexual content)
