This was a very sweet and engaging mystery. I loved all the characters and I loved that the narration loved them too. I loved all local Bostonian energy.

Spoiler

I do think the "talks to ghosts" aspect of it sort of failed to pay off in a way that I personally found satisfying?

But still, I couldn't put this down.

I hope this gets an Alex Award, I think it also has great crossover appeal for a lot of precocious teens. (eg teen Renata would have loved this shit)
