5 stars simply for the experience and wit and twists of this book, objectively it is more of a 4/4.5. i kind of flew through this because i really wanted to keep going and know more and know the truth and it had quite a lot of twists on who's involved in the case. I'm glad this is my first murder mystery I've ever read because it was fun and gruesome
also there is neurodivergence rep with Din being dyslexic and Ana bein autostic-coded, and Din's disability gets explored through the book at some points and how he works with it, which was really interesting to see
