This one has been on my TBR shelf for literally YEARS, and I'm so glad I finally got around to it because it was a fantastic read. Writing multiple POVs well is a tricky task, but Karen McManus does it brilliantly, and has you really rooting for all four suspects, despite their flaws. Although I guessed the culprit before the reveal, there were still plenty of twists and turns that kept me gripped throughout, and the growth each character went through during their personal journeys was wonderful and heart-warming
