I recommend this book if you like:

-YA college/uni

-Sherlock Holmes stories and similar vibes

-no romance

I have wanted to read this book for about 3 years. I definitely would have preferred if the book had a romantic element. The mystery was good but I couldn't warm to Charlotte and her emo, druggie demeanour. The story was a bit complex and left chunks of information out. When the mystery was revealed it wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be.

The murderer was the school nurse who was a fiance to the guy Charlotte had got in to trouble. The fiance thinks he's dead but he isn't.
