The twisty, intricate mystery of I Killed Zoe Spanos meets the whip-smart sleuthing of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder in the newest novel from acclaimed author Faith Gardner, in which a club of misfits must come together to solve a dangerous mystery—and learn to lean on each other all the while. Posey Spade loves asking questions—it’s what’s going to make her a fantastic journalist someday. And ever since her best friend and crush chose someone else, Posey’s only focusing on her future career. Unfortunately, she’s just moved to the small town of Wild Pines—which doesn’t provide a lot of groundbreaking journalism opportunities, only a scrappy AV Club full of self-proclaimed slackers . . . who Posey must somehow inspire to greatness. She never thought that inspiration would come from the disappearance of the club’s beloved sponsor and teacher, Ms. Moses. But as the days tick by with no answers, Posey and the AV Club take it upon themselves to dig into the mystery. From a nepotism scandal to a local cult, Posey learns a lot about her new town. And as she spends more time with the AV Club, she also learns that friendship is just as necessary to solving a mystery as lots of questions. Good thing Posey has both.

This was a fun read because it was so fast-paced and kept me on the edge of my seat. I will say that as an adult reader, some things annoyed me like Posey's dad being a reporter who is "always gone" so Posey can do all of these things that a normal teenager would not. I also thought that the male lead Sal who was living out of his van was portrayed well. I believe that the reveal was one that I did see coming but also that it was done well for the age group in which this book is intended.
I hope that this is going to be a series because I would love to see more of these characters and what they do going forward.
I want to say thank you to NetGalley and HarperTeen for allowing me to read this ARC.
