broccolimom 's review for:
The Agathas
by Liz Lawson, Kathleen Glasgow
2 stars. *
I"m just solidly Meh on this one.
I really wanted to like it. I was buzzed in numerous publications, and the blurb appealed to me.
The Agathas is a YA mystery that follows Alice Ogilvie (a comically stereotypical rich girl obsessed with Agatha Christie novels) as she attempts to solve the mystery of her former best friend, Brooke's disappearance/murder. I am good with YA. I love great YA storylines. The Agathas has all of the ingredients. However the writing was just juvenile. I predicted every twist and turn and the characters had zero nuance.
The cover is great. I'll give it that.
