I love that this series is set in Connecticut. I spent a few summers there with relatives growing up. There was even a (brief) shout out to Killingly! I also really enjoyed the narration alternating between the two main protagonists.

It was a pretty interesting mystery and I loved all the film references. All in all I look forward to the other books in the series.

(I had a better review written but alas it didn't save so this will have to do)
