I loved this!! I definitely recommend taking notes as the email format and large cast can make it difficult to follow the progression of the plot and keep track of all the clues. This is not a book to read idly but with full focus. GOSH this was FUN! I got super into the fun of the crime solving and also found the story itself to be riveting. I’m proud to say I partook in some rather successful sleuthing, though I didn’t necessarily have all the pieces in order in the end. But the resolution is perfect! Not a single hole and it’s so well executed! Had a such a blast and would absolutely read another book like this!
