Rezension von LeleDont know why this book is so popular. I really just don't get it. This book was so strange to read and I had a hard time following the events happening in here and also getting used to all the people.
Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“Welcome to life in a small town. You’re only as good as the best thing your family’s done. Or the worst.” </i></b></blockquote> This is my second book by McManus but I already know I'll be reading everything she puts out. I really enjoy these teen mysteries and how fluid and entertaining her writing is. This had a similar vibe from One of Us Is Lying and I could identify some of the same 'types' of characters, but that didn't bother me much. I like this 'past crimes happening again and old secrets coming out' trope, but I had a few issues with this one that I didn't have with the previous one that prevented me from giving the novel a full 5 stars. First of all, for a 'real crime' enthusiast, Ellery is not very observant (and maybe not very smart either), so the solution had to be basically rubbed on her face for her to realize what was happening. It also meant that I, as a reader, worked everything out way before the main characters did, so it was frustrating waiting for them to realize stuff. And so the grand plot twist wasn't much of a plot twist at all, unlike OoUiL, that kept me guessing till the end. BUT, I did enjoy how the police was an actual part of the investigation and solution, instead of being complete idiots who are left in the dust by teenagers (which is one of the few things that always bothers me in these YA mysteries). I still very much enjoyed the 'small-town drama', the romance and the actual 'investigation' and I really liked the characters, and like I said, the author's writing style really works for me and I flew through it. It's a very nice in-between novel for more slow/deep reads.
