3 stars. A good start to the series. It was slow and a bit boring at times but the characters were fun and I enjoyed the mystery for the most part. The writing was also really good. I liked the ending and it definitely made me excited about picking up book two especially as I hear that the series gets better and better with each book.

🌟🌟🌟🌟 Riddle me This Stars

Look! A riddle! Time for fun!
Should we use a rope or gun?

Such ways to punish naughty boys!
What shall we use? We can’t decide.

On the other side, there is Stevie's storyline. It drags a lot! It takes forever for something to happen and when something finally did happen, it didn't change much. Plus romance came out of nowhere!

A murder mystery set in two timelines that are almost a century apart. Both timelines occur at Ellingham Academy, a private school in Vermont.

They included brilliant students from poor backgrounds as well as the children from rich and powerful families.

The school is famous for the kidnapping of Albert Ellingham's wife and child--a mys ...more
