5.0

I really loved this book. I loved the friendship that formed between Alice and Iris. I also thought the mystery was a lot of fun. I started having suspicions and figuring things out much earlier than the characters, but I actually really liked that. I feel like the book left just enough hints and clues that you could figure it all out, without becoming boring or predictable. I also really loved all the references and nods to Agatha Christie. While I've not read any of Christie's novels, I have very fond memories of my mom watching episodes of Poirot while I was in the room and this book kind of brought me back to then.
