3.0
Kind of boring, but the way the person did the murders was interesting, though I'm not sure it was super believable. it was really interesting that in the end the murders were actually quite sloppy, but seemed somewhat intelligent as they were happening.
Also I kind of hate the inciting event. I wish the author had made it a bit more obvious as to if the students were pressuring the girl to drink or if it was just an accident because it's painted as just an accident which makes the motive make less sense and I prefer mysteries where there is a more solid motive.

Moderate: Violence and Gore
There were some parts that were a bit gorey for a typical murder mystery imo (but nothing compared to a horror novel)
