I had this in three formats ... audio, Kindle and the physical book. I borrowed the audio and Kindle copy from the library, my final "murder" mystery for October. I went with the audio, which I was impressed with. Full cast, well done. The text also had some fun setups though, the Project pages, the transcripts, a map. Definitely worth a peek at as well as listening to the audio.

The "regular" chapters were 3rd person/past tense. The project pages and transcripts were 1st person (present tense for the transcripts). In audio, it felt a little strange to have the same voice (our MC) for the 3rd person portion, because it still felt like HER telling us the story, not an omniscient narrator.

This pulled me in immediately - I liked the different presentation, and it captured my interest. I cared about the characters, Pip and Ravi were both very likeable. 

As with the majority of murder mysteries, this pushed the limits of required "suspension of disbelief" ... I enjoyed the book while I was in it, but thinking back (and even there near the end) ... really? Just a tad (or more than a tad) too much. 

This is the first book in the series, and while I liked it, I don't think I'll continue. The whole "teen solves case the police never could" and just these murder mysteries in general, I get a little judgmental about (if they are saying they are at all "realistic"). I could absolutely see this being a series teen girls would enjoy (with a teen girl MC leading the way).   I peeked at the preview for the Netflix series ... I don't think the book was based in the UK was it? There was nothing in the text that made me think that (and it's absolutely something I would notice), no accent in the narration, yet FULL accents in the series preview (I don't think the location is essential to the story, it just made me wonder).   

For YA - there was proFanity (x11) and some sex (nothing explicit/descriptive).
