Really good story. Loveable characters. Very grounded in time and place. My two complaints: 1) Slow start. Took about 10 chapters before the action kicked off. 2) Too repetitive. I felt a bit like the author was holding my hand through solving the mystery instead of trusting that I could remember what she'd already told me. Haha. Relatedly, there was too much telling and not enough showing. 

Still a great book that I'll recommend to my kids when they're young adults.
