Maureen Johnson is just so good at writing a mystery and I eat it up every time. I loved the mystery itself. At first, it seems like your stereotypical murders at a summer camp during the 70s but it is turned on its head so well. I love Stevie and her friends, they are weird and quirky but they understand each other so well and their dynamic is so fun and easy to read.
