One of the best murder mystery books I've read! Just when I thought I'd figured it out, there was more information to keep me guessing.

I enjoyed it, I'm pretty observant and I didn't see the twists coming. However, the writing wasn't great. It's YA but written like middle grade level. I kept forgetting our main character was 17 and not 13. It was still a good book that I would recommend. 

Read this if you like:
Mysteries with multiple suspects
Story told from only one POV
Investigative and informative details 
Fast paced thrillers
