This is an excellent book, a page turner that kept me hooked till the last page.
I felt for the characters, was intrigued by the mystery, and root for Alice and Iris.
It's YA because the MCs and other characters involved in the investigation are teenagers but the mystery is excellent, full of twists, and kept me guessing.
It's a mystery but it's also a story of solitude, of how adults don't listen or simply don't care for what the younger people are saying.
Nobody is caring about the disappearance of a teen ager, nobody cared for Iris when she denounced abused.
Alice run away, came back but nobody listened to her and her parents are filling the voids with very expensive presents.
Adults simply don't listen and they care even less as these are young women.
I loved the idea of two young detective inspired by Agatha Christie and I loved their stories and the storytelling.
It's a book that should be read by adults and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
