Read in less than 24 hours, this moves so quickly it's hard to keep up with all the red herrings -  please check trigger warnings!! This is v dark subject matter even if lightly written for younger audience. Loved the multimedia effect of the evidence collected in murder investigation and the characters are all quite well drawn, not just the excellent main characters. Engrossing, poignant in places and a vindicating end- Def one of my better reads this year.
