Maureen Johnson proves once again that she’s the queen of YA Mystery.
Poor Marlowe accidentally burns down her parents friend’s cottage on a first date. To get away from her intense embarrassment, she takes a job as a tour guide on an island where some mysterious deaths occurred in the 1930s. I absolutely loved Marlowe’s internal dialogue – so real for us socially awkward types. 🥰
Very good modern twist on/homage to an Agatha Christie book called Crooked House.
I stayed up until 2am to finish this one, which I rarely do anymore.
Special thanks to Netgalley and HarperCollins Children’s Books for the advanced e-reader copy in exchange for my honest review.
