A great YA mystery/thriller! I need to read the next book. Kept me guessing about who actually was the murderer and had a nice wrapup at the end that felt deserved. Certain people def got what they deserved, both good and bad . Was a little slow to start but once the parts start moving, it picks up. There are a few questions left unanswered (like what was going on with the cop and the reporter? And the reporter and the dealer?) but the main whodunnit gets answered and that was satisfying enough for me.
