Synopsis
This chilling mystery novel begins with the gruesome murder of a seventeen-year-old, which ruptures a closeknit community, shatters a family, and devastates the life of the victim's best friend.
Gaura Mehta, Teen Reviewer - VOYA
I think that this book has an excellent plot, but it is entirely predictable. The beginning does not provide the reader with enough proof of the boys' friendship. I also found all of the characters-adults included-to have very childlike personalities. The conclusion was very weak.
