A review by chihiro16
Signed Sealed Dead by Cynthia Murphy

3.5

first impression the writing is so easy to read like all her books and i love the whole set up who doesn’t love a good american ya thriller/mystery

it's a bit cringey it feels like a boomer is trying to write relatable gen z characters and not knowing at all how we communicate

gets straight into the action love it and the short chapters are a blessing

appreciate the america slander

alright we're getting right into it

three things seem fishy- justin, the sim card and paige's dad

cj is paige's dad??

i guarantee cj is paige's dad and the dna test will tell her she is nicole's daughter

josh and his dad seem fishy too just everyone seems suspicious that's a police word (new girl reference lol)

yk what would be a great plot twist if tiffany was the murderer

she can't be nicole's daughter cus paige is my age and nicole was pregnant in like 1997 or so

i was right about at least one thing cj is paige's dad (and also that the dna test would reveal something about nicole and paige being linked)

so was the tiffany running away from the killer thing fake cus nicole didn't actually get kidnapped or killed so tiffany was lying??

i feel like she went for the obvious choice with you it was and didn't say they were suspicious before cus it seemed too obvious and she was trying to hard to make them like covertly suspicious so i thought it wouldn't be them

will there be a second book

yeah was really gripping and lots of suspense but ultimately anticlimactic solid thriller
