The Agathas by Liz Lawson, Kathleen Glasgow
4.0

Agatha Christie? Love. Murder in a small town that's coincidentally has the same name as the hometown of Scooby Doo? Double love. ROLLER RINK?

Uh yeah, you knew I was sold. And if the millions of DMs I sent to Liz Lawson were my review, there would be a lot of exclamation points. Alice and Iris are thrust together as tutee and tutor, and then partners in a teenage murder investigation. There are so many twists and turns (though I did guess a key plot point about halfway through) that you're guaranteed to be surprised at some point. Pair that with the flawless references to Agatha Christie's work, both in fiction and reality, and it's a killer mystery that is unputdownable. (Except when you're texting someone about it, of course!)

I'd recommend this for mystery fans young and old, horse girls, and for anyone who ever wanted to be a detective.
