This was a really quick read.

Piper recently moved into her dad’s house with his wife and their two kids. It’s her senior year and she doesn’t know anyone. When she stumbles across a grave of a young girl, Piper decides to find out who she was. Layla was seventeen when she died seventeen years earlier. And Piper is seventeen. When she’s told she has to do a project for school, she decides to do a podcast on Layal’s unsolved murder. She starts finding as much information as she can and tries to speak to as many people from that time as possible. Layla was at a party the night she died. Her boyfriend was the prime suspect, but he was never charged. Piper thinks it’s a prank, but she might be coming to close to the killer. She starts receiving messages and a gift. She even sees someone that might be following her. The only real friend Piper made at her new school was Jonas. He was asked to help her since he has a podcast. He doesn’t agree with digging up the murder, but he helps her anyways.

I gave this book 4 stars. I liked that there were podcast transcripts for each episode.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for my earc.

 

 

 

 

 

About the Author:

New York Times-bestselling author April Henry knows how to kill you in a two-dozen different ways. She makes up for a peaceful childhood in an intact home by killing off fictional characters. There was one detour on April’s path to destruction:  when she was 12 she sent a short story about a six-foot tall frog who loved peanut butter to noted children’s author Roald Dahl. He liked it so much he showed it to his editor, who asked if she could publish it in Puffin Post, an international children’s magazine. By the time April was in her 30s, she had started writing about hit men, kidnappers, and drug dealers. She has published 27 mysteries and thrillers for teens and adults, with more to come.
