Crime novels aren't usually my type of thing, but I really enjoyed this one! I thought the format was really unique and gripping, it really felt like I was watching a TV show. 

I liked the way we were presented with the evidence at the same time as the investigators, and could have a go at being detectives too. The mixed media element of the novel really added to my enjoyment of it too.

Holy crap!!! First of all I love this unique format of the book and all the side information we get. This story was so unique and full of twists and turns just like you get in a real true crime show. I think this is a great book to buddy read and share your theories with. I was equally impressed with how much I guessed right and how much I was surprised by. The ending was a little far fetched but also maybe totally realistic in a way. There's definitely a solid conclusion but an opening for a sequel that I'm hoping we will get!!
