I love a good boarding school murder! Very fun page turner that’s smarter than it needs to be, just ignore the one annoying gimmick running through it (you’ll know what I mean). This one helped me bounce back into reading since I truly could not put it down and kept thinking about it when I wasn’t reading it.

I’m also trying to get back into reading and I’ve found a classic murder mystery is great. They tend to be on the short side and they’re exciting, so I end up reading for hours like I did as a kid. Plus they’re pretty abundant. I like Agatha Christie, or if you’re looking for something a bit longer, Anthony Horowitz’s Magpie Murders is really good too!

Very good plot and interesting layout in the book. The in-text images are very engaging. 10/10. Got turned into a netflix show but I have not watched that yet!

So my wife took the hint that I've been on a classic mysteries kick recently, with all my Agatha Christie recs, and decided to get me this book which is sort of a modern day "classic mystery". I actually read another book by this author a few months ago, The Guest List, and felt it was solid but a little uninspired and typical. This one, however, felt much more naturally executed. I was questioning every character’s possible motives the whole time, and was left guessing even who the victim was for over half the book. It's a super easy read and a lot of fun.
