Maybe 3.75?

I love these books and characters and could read 20 books about them, but this mystery was def much less interesting and fleshed out than the first lol I'm wondering if all the next books will be more one-and-done spinoffs ? But Maureen Johnson is great and I'll keep reading her forever

Very entertaining!! Apart from the fact Stevie Bell annoys me as a MC, the crime was interesting and Nate’s sarcasm got me through!

I had so much fun being back in the world of Stevie Bell! I had no clue who was behind the crimes throughout the book. In fact, my suspicions were way off. I loved seeing familiar characters. However, I did miss the setting of Ellingham Academy

A light read. Easy to understand and escape reality. Serious enough to keep me engaged

Fourth and final book of the series! This book was everything I needed to finish strong! I was getting a little tired of the setting just being the school by the time I got halfway through book three but the new setting and mystery was EVERYTHING I needed.
