🪦 by Mark Wheaton
🎧 narrated by Annalee Scott
After a fellow student dies stranhely, Bex, a neurodivergent high schooler, gets hyperfocused on solving the mystery.
Bex herself is often ignored or infantalized by her family. She's an odd MC choice because she's not actually very connected to anyone in the story. Her status as an outsider could be interesting, but it's never very utilized.
The mystery is compelling, but the reader is never given quite enough information to solve it. By the end of the book when the villain is unmasked, it has the same feeling as when Velma would explain all the behind the scenes things that happened off camera that would have helped us solve the crime with them.
I was not confused by the twisting realities, but they were confusing. It seemed like an unnecessary complication.
Overall, I was fully invested in this story until the end when it all started fraying apart. Its kind of fun and quick and the audiobook narrator is good.
