Àbíké-Íyímídé has blessed us with another school-based mystery that tackles pressing systemic issues! I actually quite liked the pacing of it and how the book took its time to lay down every single hint one after another. Just like in Ace of Spades, I appreciate that Àbíké-Íyímídé ends her book on a note that
isn't Happily Ever After and also not entirely unsatisfying but somewhere in the middle, like real life often is.
