Two teens who go from enemies (ish) to partners in sleuthing to friends. This is such a great young adult detective story with multiple nods to Agatha Christie. It was an easy read with lots of twist and turns. I never would have guessed the big twist, but then after the fact it makes so much sense. It isn’t just a random twist. The characters are really great even the ones you hate. I couldn’t put it down. While this is a fun, intriguing mystery, it does address some more serious issues as well.
