"The case is closed. Five years ago, schoolgirl Andie Bell was murdered by Sal Singh. The police know he did it. Everyone in town knows he did it.

But having grown up in the same small town that was consumed by the murder, Pippa Fitz-Amobi isn't so sure. When she chooses the case as the topic for her final year project, she starts to uncover secrets that someone in town desperately wants to stay hidden. And if the real killer is still out there, how far will they go to keep Pip from the truth?"

My Rating: 5/5

This is exactly the type of mystery/thriller I love. It's fast-paced, has tons of red herrings and keeps the plot moving so quickly that you are drawn in further to the mystery than you thought possible. This is a YA mystery so while it went there at some points, there are some points that are distinctly YA, so you have to like that age range to fully enjoy it. I liked our characters and the idea that she just becomes so obsessed with this true crime case. If you're someone who loves true crime, you'd likely really enjoy this book. I look forward to seeing where this series will go considering how this first one ended.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
