honestly kind of disappointed with the lack of actual sleuthing in this supposed murder mystery book. a huge majority of the book was her settling in at school and a little teenage drama, where the actual investigative work (not even work, let's call it thinking) was done in the last five chapters. and it was about another murder entirely! slightly juvenile writing so it makes it more on the younger side of ya, and overall did not make me intrigued for the next book.
