A fun fast paced YA mystery. I appreciated the short chapters and thought Avery was a well fleshed out and enjoyable protagonist. I did find it tricky in the first half to keep track of the family tree and where all the other inhabitants of Hawthorne House fitted in but they all seemed to have their purpose. The mystery fell a bit flat for me but maybe YA just isn't up my alley any more.
