Thank you NetGalley for the advance copy of this book!
Maureen Johnson has a way wiht YA mysteries. I enjoy the flipping between two different timelines similar to the Truly Devious series. Marlowe was an enjoyable character most of the time. I really liked Van as a character and wanted to know Riki better.
The 1930s timeline was interesting. The father gave me the same vibe as the dad from Umbrella Academy without the supernatural stuff.
Overall this book was enjoyable. I was a little confused at some of the descriptions of locations and how the basement/playhouse connected.
