Barry Lyga does it again--another enthralling murder mystery with a narrator who may or may not be reliable. This remains one of the funnest (idk is that the right word to use?) and most creative murder mystery I've read--one that has such a satisfying reveal and in hindsight, makes re-reading the book a joy as you pick up on all the clues planted earlier throughout. Be warned: the book does end on a cliffhanger!
