I listened to this on audiobook, and it was a really well done production. The story was fast paced and hit the rich kids at boarding school doing the literal most trope quite well. The killer was kind of obvious to me, but for a younger reader who is just getting into mysteries they might be surprised. The dialogue and friend group interactions were a strong point. The main characters felt fleshed out and complex which made the read all the more enjoyable. I really liked the not-so happy ending.
