I'm used to YA murder mysteries being the zany teen girl detective and an obvious culprit, so this story was so refreshing, bringing us a group of teens who all had motive and could have committed the murder, and my favourite trope - a eccentric consulting detective duo, brought in to try and solve the murder.
I had no clue who committed the murder. In fact, it was nearly impossible to because every single person around Blaine had solid motive for doing in, and that made it really fun. We got to see different events from the perspective of different members of the group, and while I was able to rule a couple of people out, I needed one final piece of the puzzle that was revealed at the end to solve it.
The rest of the story was very very good. But a reveal leater in the story left a sour taste in my mouth, and it's taken me a couple of days to try and work out how to rate and review this story after that.
