The Agathas
by Liz Lawson, Kathleen Glasgow
I am a HUGE Agatha Christie fan - so I knew immediately that I wanted to read this book. I loved all the references to Christie's works scattered throughout the novel, and how the whodunnit was explained in a very Christie fashion.
The relationship between Iris and Alice was so sweet to watch develop as they went from two completely different girls, to the closet of friends. It was refreshing to see how they both dealt with their traumas in different ways and how the struggles in their lives impacted the people they have become.
I did go back and forth a but with who I think the murder was, and im glad I didn't fully figure it out. My favorite way to end any mystery is where I didn't guess whodunnit, but once the killer is revealed, I see all the subtle hints that of course it had to be them.
I haven't read much YA mystery, and it seems to be a nice mix of true crime and cozy mystery, which I am totally down with. I think this book is great for any Agatha fans, or mystery fans in general. It was a cute but thrilling story, and I always love a good old amateur detective.
