Vu la durée que ça m'a pris pour le livre je sais que ce n'est pas un 5 ⭐ page turner. C'était une bonne intrigue. Je n'avais pas l'impression que les indices lui tombaient entre les mains ultra facilement ou que c'était complètement impossible pour une ado. J'ai apprécié le fait qu'elle continuait d'aller à l'école et qu'elle préparait ses examens. Bref, la vie continue. Le meilleur selon moi était l'absence de romance entre les 2 protagonistes. Ça aurait vraiment été de trop. Globalement correct mais rien pour écrire à sa mère.

Loved it! I predicted wrong though! I thought it was going to go a different way at the end but definitely recommend.

This is a really strong mystery novel. The mystery is actually one of the best I've read. I genuinely felt like I deciphered the clues at the same time as Pip, where is other mysteries I've guessed the ending within the first half. 
I feel like some of the supporting cast were not fleshed out enough and that made some points feel a little weak.
