Even though this may be a little of a low rating I really liked this booked, I just didn’t find it that surprising (except for one element in the last pages), but apart from that what I liked the most was seeing Nate, Phoebe and Addy get over most of the baggage they’ve been carrying. I found the plot a little predictable after some things were revealed, but what had drawn me more to read the book was revisiting the characters and what they were up to rather than the plot itself, so in a way it met my expectations. Will forever love this series, was one of the first mysteries I read :)
Graphic: Death, Kidnapping, Death of parent, and Murder
