This book was really fun! I did not know what to expect going into it but I'm actually very glad about that. It's a fun story with secrets and twists and mysteries that made it very entertaining to read. Did everything always make total sense? No absolutely not, but that wasn't what I wanted from this book anyways. It deals with topics like domestic abuse and chronic illness but not in great depth which still makes it feel like a fun mystery book for a younger audience (though not necessarily just them). I am definitely curious to keep reading and to see where this story goes next. There are still a lot of questions that I want answered so hopefully I will enjoy the second book as much as I did this one. :)

Really fun & enjoyable YA  “whodunnit” mystery with very little violence (1st in series) with major “Knives Out” vibes — featuring an unexpected inheritance of billions, the unique and twisted family members of the bequeathing billionaire , and a sprawling Biltmore-esque estate with secret passages, furniture with hidden compartments and lots of riddles to be solved. Looking forward to the next in the series!!!
