When I started reading this I thought it was just going to be a bit of a rubbish YA mystery, but in the end I actually found myself really enjoying it! Reading it sort of felt like watching a film, and I felt like I couldn’t get enough. I did see ‘the twist’ coming a little bit (not completely) but I didn’t guess who was involved. I did actually get quite invested in the characters too which I didn’t expect. Overall it was a nice twist on a classic whodunnit with the ‘typical’ stereotype characters.
