I really liked this book. I was a little apprehensive about reading it since I'm more of a fantasy girl than a mystery girl, but after BookTok (don't judge) kept recommending it I had to try it and I was pleasantly surprised. 

I'm going to start by saying that there are so many plots twists that you probably won't see them all coming (taking this from a girl who predicts the plot twists between 50%-75% of the time) which is always a good start in a mystery book. Furthermore, it is face-paced and the characters are very endearing. Like a said, this not being my usual genre can either mean that my standards are pretty high or ridiculously low, but those are the main things I look for in these types of book and not only were they there but I was also thoroughly entertained for the whole read.

There's not really much else to say without spoiling it (and a mystery book is one genre you really shouldn't spoil) other than that it's a good book and I think you'd enjoy it immensely if you gave it a try.
