I wanted to like this more. Right off the bat it gave me Good Girls Guide to Murder vibes with the kid trying to solve the case… but it soon fell flat for me. Too many characters, I felt that there were a few story lines that could have been left out (Regan’s son for example), and I figured out the killer quickly simply bc it was the only one that made since as the story plot was built. Also I felt like the whole last chapter could have been nixed, it was basically a recap of the whole book. I think it should have ended when the killer was caught and the last entry of the journal. I basically skimmed the last chapter.  All in all not a HORRIBLE book, I enjoyed parts of it, but I just fell like there’s better books with the same plot line.
