Saw something on my socials on the weekend that said if you love Pippa from "Good Girl's guide to Murder" you would probably like Stevie Bell from this series. I had already made the connection and am planning to recommend this series to the 14yo readers who enjoy Holly Jackson, and perhaps also Jennifer Lynn Barnes. I especially like the back and forth between 1937/8 and the present. A great mystery without too much to confront teen readers.

Stevie continues to be my little baby. She's so weird and awk and SMART! Oh I just wanna swaddle her. She's so unintentionally --and also intentionally-- funny (
In contrast, we have my enemy: Nate 👿🤬. He's soooo fucking annoying I'm sorry literally the only reason this book is 4.5 instead of 5 stars. Every time he showed up I'd literally yell at my book for him to go away (let's remember, I never claimed to be sane). He irked me to my very core. Less of him in the next book, hopefully.
