What a great mystery!! I know so many of my students will love this. I’ve said this before about YA thrillers and mysteries. Yes they’re obvious to me. Because I’m an adult. But I love it when an author can keep me engaged even if I’ve figured it out. Glasgow and Lawson are a dynamic duo when it comes to the mystery genre! This book was exciting, fast paced, twisty, a smidge graphic with dead bodies (very PG13 level but enough to keep it interesting), and everything a mystery novel should be.
