Another solid 3 star. It was okay. Not too long, but not terribly exciting, either. Did not feel anything for the characters. Will not read the rest in the series. I think this is more MG than YA, but it was advertised as YA on the platform where I read it. The audiobook narrator was good.

This was so cute and fun! I was expecting the mystery to be pretty obvious from the start being a middle grade novel but I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t put together the clue until just before it was revealed!
Also I listened to the audiobook version and now I need Gemma Chan to narrate every book ever

Creo que este libro logra exactamente su punto, el cual es contar un misterio de asesinato de una forma sencilla desde el punto de vista middle-grade, sin hacerlo demasiado sádico y al mismo tiempo dándole el suficiente toque de misterio.
Me gustó mucho, aunque definitivamente tengo que admitir que prefiero los "grown up misteries" (si se podría decir así).
Además ¡Esta es toda una serie de libros sobre dos niñas detectives! Definitivamente merece mérito.

I really enjoyed the mystery and the setting of a 1930s boarding school - I will definitely look at picking up more in the series.
