Alice Ogilvie used to be part of the rich and popular set at Castle Cove High School. But last summer her boyfriend Steve dumped her. Then she decided to disappear for a few days without telling anyone where she was going. This caused a giant rift between her and her friends. Brooke Donovan, another popular girl at school and Alice's former best friend, has also disappeared. At first the police don't seem to be taking her disappearance seriously. But when Brooke's body is found, they arrest Brooke's boyfriend Steve...the same Steve who used to date Alice.
Iris Adams is a high school math-wiz. She needs to make some quick money, so she takes a job as Alice's tutor. Not a lot of studying is getting done. Together the two girls discuss Brooke's murder and decided there is no way Steve is responsible for her death. And, as a big Agatha Christie fan, Alice knows she has the skills to investigate this crime.
I found this book on Audible when they were having a sale. I thought it sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a try. This was a well-plotted mystery that kept my attention throughout the story. Both Alice and Iris are appealing characters. They keep a notebook of clues, witness statements, and suspects, updating it as they investigate. Alice keeps asking "What would Agatha Christie do?" She pulls her investigative techniques from the various Christie books that she has read.
I highly recommend this audiobook, narrated by Mehr Dudeja, Sophie Amoss, and Holly Linneman. Each of them nailed the various characters. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book in the series. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
