The Meadowbrook Murders by Jessica Goodman
3.0
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was just okay for me. It didn't have as much suspense for me as some of Goodman's other books have had. It's also marketed as dark academia, but it's more just a murder mystery set at a boarding school. At times, even with different narrators, both of the main characters kind of blurred together as well. It's a quick read, though, if you're looking for a quick mystery!
