Katy read and liked Meagan's review of The Murder Of Bindy Mackenzie:

"I didn't think she could do it - make me love Bindy, that is. But she did.

It's a testament to her ability as an author in the way that she takes a very minor character - one created for comic relief and for the convenience of transcripts in the format she's chosen - and turn her into a three-dimensional, neurotic and completely loveable character.

Bindy is still Bindy, but we start to understand why Bindy is the way Bindy is after awhile. 1/3 of the way through, you're rooting for Bindy and frowning upon the other characters that we loved in the other books. By the end, she makes everything right, somehow, and still manages to have a bit of intrigue.

Seriously, though. This book is like...the misery of high school, smooshed together with the misery of family and friends. It's got all this misery in it, see, and yet still manages to make you smile like an idiot. Yeah. Go read it, guys.(less) "
