I was hoping I'd like this as much as The Appeal by Janice Hallett because of its mixed media format. I didn't enjoy it quite as much but it was still very entertaining. It's a very clever concept and I was gripped throughout. It was overly dramatic but that made sense considering its reality TV show premise. I didn't solve the case before the characters though, I think I figured it out about two pages before it was explained.
Graphic: Death, Suicide, Violence, Blood, and Murder
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Infidelity, Car accident, and Death of parent
