Fascinating, but perhaps not the genre for me. I don't have any umbridge with the way it was written; rather, I realized that when reading it I don't like the whole premise. The idea of a teenager poking into a murder/suicide investigation and solving it makes me.... uncomfortable. So I will probably not be reading more stuff like that, but if you do like that, then this is probably a great book for you.
