I like the school setting a little better, but hard to complain about a summer camp. I was thrown off that this was self-contained (unlike the first three/the original trilogy...) and I could've enjoyed more of the original timeline to add some meat, but I still just enjoy these characters and the writing. Just fun.

This book was so good, I love these characters and I loved the experience of reading as always!!

I also was able to guess that Patty did something really early on, so I'm very proud of myself :)

I enjoyed the plot well enough and it makes interesting commentary on the popularity of and modern obsession with true crime, but the ending was a little bit of a stretch. It makes sense in the story that was told; you can figure the ending out, but it seemed like a bit much is all.
