Instead of being scared at the sight, 18-year old Brianne James was curious. What had happened to this girl? Why is she dead? And could it have been a murder?
For starting off fresh in a new town, this case would seem like the perfect distraction for Brianne, who was your average teen with an inquisitive mind and flippant attitude.
Told in the voice of the main character, story almost reads like a diary with its quick repartee and wandering teenage notions. At times, it feels like she’s rambling, running aimlessly from one idea to the next. But, of course, that mostly pertained when she was talking about school, teachers, and homework. She definitely has more pizzazz when she’s working on the case, which she asks a lot of questions on. If only school wouldn’t get in the way.
Basically half the story dealt with high school life and the other half dealt with the mystery of the dead girl. The writing was okay with some lag here and there.
Overall, this was an okay mystery with a savvy, little detective.
My rating: 3 stars
