What Readers Are Saying
"This was a fun, suspenseful mystery. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to start book 2. Highly recommend."
Emma ThompsonBook Club Organizer
"I read this book in about two days and I haven’t been much of a reader for a long time. My attention span is virtually nonexistent so reading stopped being a hobby for me. Decided to try to get back into it with this book. I most certainly didn’t expect the way things turned out and that’s my favorite kind of ending!"
James RobinsonYoung Adult Reviewer
"This book kept my attention the whole way through. Didn't want to put it down. Definitely didn't guess the murder.. awesome job!!"
Sarah JohnsonFreelance Writer
