The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson
2.0

I really hoped this one would be better, but I was kind of disappointed. I still don’t feel like the characters were 3 dimensional at all. They all seem to have the “1 thing” to be obsessed with and that’s there while personality.

As far as plot, I liked this one more than the previous three, but I feel like the “bad guys” are given too much credit. The way the murders happened as Stevie puts it seems too far fetched. People are dumb, and I can’t imagine they would go to such complex lengths to commit these crimes. It just didn’t seem believable to me.

That being said, I still found it entertaining to some degree abs appreciated some moments of writing.
