I feel like this book was written for me. I love mysteries, particularly those set in Scotland and have often thought that the ideal mystery would have an autistic main character, and I got all of those in this book. 

I loved the mystery within the book, and commend Freya’s bravery, because I’d consider letting a murderer go free before dealing with people from my school days. 

I’m delighted there’s another book in this series coming out in 2025.
