It's easy to see why this won the Youth Agatha Christie award. And even though the mystery was excellent and kept me on my toes, it was the characters that I loved the most. Xander is awesome and even though it's not explicitly stated I believe his bestie Daniel might be autistic. I hope that there are more in this series so we can see more development of Holly's character since I feel like she has more growing up to do. The only reason this didn't get a full five stars is because there were some problems with the proofreading.
