This was a great new YA murder mystery! I have really grown to like the summer camp-slasher type of mystery, and this was a great one. The characters were well developed and likable, which I appreciated. The plot was also unfurled through “then” and “now” flashbacks that were ordered in a way to create the maximum suspense/tension. The whole thing seemed so interconnected and well though out! It really keeps you on the edge of your seat, and I didn’t expect some of the plot twists! I think that while staying with the summer camp slasher style, it added many original layers and aspects with the camp being for the extremely wealthy, while being located in a poor small town, so rich people fly in from all over. Overall, this was pretty original and well constructed and executed, so I will definitely recommend!
