I was slow to get into this, because I hadn't realised it was set in a high-school and I had to adjust for a teen read. But I ended up really enjoying it. I thought the friendship between Alice and Iris was really lovely, and I think it's rare to see a character develop as much as Alice did.

I love a mystery were I guess the murderer really early, so I got to feel really smug the whole time. I also liked how farfetched some plot points were, it felt very Agatha Christie at her quirkiest, which I'm sure is the point
