Prepare to become a detective and try to solve not 1, but 2 mysteries! You are taken through the journeys of 2 sets of twin sisters, Macie and Mary in the past and sillie and Jane in the present. Through case files you discover evidence about the mysterious disappearance of Sillie at her and the disappearance of Macie and Mary in the 1940s. In the end you try to figure out who committed the crimes.
I was hesitant to read an “interactive” book not knowing what to expect and if it would be done well but I really enjoyed this book. I took the advice of the PI at the end of each case file and tried to take notes on what I had learned from each piece of evidence to see if I could solve the mystery myself. In the end I am proud to say I was able to guess the culprit successfully. I loved that it was designed and broken up by case files of similar evidence, each piece adding a new layer to the characters and the cases. In the end you get to see how those case files helped the investigators figure out who committed the crime.
This was a well written and engaging book. As a fan of puzzles and mystery rooms, I couldn’t put it down. I look forward to more books from the author!
