katiemack 's review for:
The Agathas
by Liz Lawson, Kathleen Glasgow
I received this book as an eARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
3.5, rounded up. This would be perfect for fans of Karen M. McManus or Holly Jackson; it joins the plethora of YA murder mysteries that have been popping up over the last decade or so. The book feels fresh, though; it only gives us the POV of two characters instead of five or ten, which allows us to get to know them better (though I definitely prefer Iris to Alice). While the side characters end up being a little flat and some plot points glossed over, the mystery itself was fun, and the authors also addressed issues of abuse.
Overall it's an enjoyable read, and the Agatha Christie Easter eggs will be delightful for those who have read her books.
