Very pleasantly surprised at the series as a whole. The third book was just as good as the second, which was just as good as the first. No degradation of quality at all! I love that this book leaned into the found-family vibes of the Murder Club, and it was just a really nice journey (murders aside) watching all the characters grow from distant strangers to loving friends. The mystery was really well executed, just like it was in the previous books, and it surprised me at every other turn. It wasn't a book of coincidences - these teens did real actual sleuthing to figure out the suspects, and it was gratifying to watch. Real moral dilemmas were brought up in this book with Pheobe's situation, and I think it was handled very realistically. Under normal circumstances, I'm someone who really wants to like YA, but most of the time, the characters end up acting too childish for me to enjoy it -- that wasn't a problem at all with this series! They are high schoolers, but the author very much treats them like young adults trying to figure out how to grow up around traumatic situations, and I appreciate that so much. I'm not sure if it's going to leave a lasting impact on me, but I thoroughly had a good time reading them, so this is an easy 4 stars. This last book wrapped up the series really well (the extra POVs were really cool!), and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who likes a good murder mystery and likes YA. This book is a great example of both.
