This is definitely a slow burn mystery set at a boarding school that pulls you in and doesn't let go. The stage is set from the beginning when Sade's roommate disappears, and the mystery unfolds from there. As you read on, you realize how intricately woven the whole mystery is in the fabric of the school.

I will say, the second half of the book definitely picks up from the first, but it still felt a little long to me. I don't think this is quite at the level of Ace of Spades, but it is still an excellent mystery read!
