Intriguing enough. The way police investigation went seemed realistic. Some of the information the students found that the police didn’t was a little … ... but it wasn’t enough to feel cringey. 
I liked the characters and however there was focus on Bronwyn and Nate. I never felt like I didn’t have enough insight to the other characters, who were also a focal point in the story. 
 It’s a good gateway to mystery in the YA genre.
