MY THOUGHTS●●●
MY REVIEW IN ONE SENTENCE: This story both starts and ends with a confession...everything in between is a twisty, oft-times confusing, drug and alcohol-infused, with secrets slipping out everywhere kind of murder-mystery with an illuminating podcast to help pull it all together.
I loved the podcast element...especially since it's always accompanied by full-cast narration. This only had about thirty percent ratio of the podcast aspect...just enough to satisfy but not too much for those that might be put off by this sort of aspect. The narration in this was excellently performed by all.
Altogether this is another hit in the YA mystery genre. One that is not to be missed if you liked Sadie or A Good Girls Guide to Murder.
