The Agathas by Liz Lawson, Kathleen Glasgow
4.0
Huge thanks to PRH International, and Kathleen Glasgow & Liz Lawson for my ARC in exchange for the honest review.
It was fantastic! The characters, the mystery, and the writing style were all appealing to me. The mystery was intriguing, and the characters' attempts to unravel evidence and find out what happened were beautifully described. Fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, One of Us Is Lying, and Truly Devious will enjoy The Agathas. It was a fast-paced and very captivating teen detective novel idea. Alice and Iris, the two characters whose viewpoints we follow throughout the novel, have distinct voices that hook you in and keep you engaged until the very last page. When Alice and Iris first meet, their lives are incredibly different, yet their chemistry makes it feel as if they're discovering about each other for the first time while also knowing so much about one other. As they worked together to figure together the clues, I enjoyed watching them become unusual friends and allies. With intriguing supporting characters and lots of action to keep the plot moving.
The Agathas tore my heart out with their exceptionally angsty, horrific, realistic words and amazing characters collaborated to produce something special. If you're a fan of Agatha Christie, YA, and mysteries, then you should pick this one up. Highly recommended.
