The voices of each of the girls were very distinctive in a pleasant surprise, because it can be pretty hard to think up three teenagers together and then not fall for the trap of making them similar.
There were some really interesting emotions unpacked throughout the mystery, which I appreciated, seeing as baggage is such a large part of what this book is about. I especially liked some of the passages where Devi thought back on her reason for being at the estate and how time had done little for her healing process.
On the side of the mystery, I found it a very pleasant rollercoaster ride, with the many red herrings and surprise reveals. Emily and Charles were rather grim individuals, but at the end things come to a fairly nice happy for now conclusion. Indeed, a good follow-up for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen M. McManus.
