This is such an enjoyable, well-written story with quirky characters at a quirky school and a fascinating historical mystery. What mystery fan wouldn't like to read of a high school crime devotee attending a free exclusive academy where learning is a game, students pursue their interests and the unsolved kidnapping and murder she's most interested in takes place? Reminds me of Brittany Cavallaro's Charlotte Holmes series and Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce series. I guess I love a good female detective a la Nancy Drew!

I must say it's been a while since I felt like such a fool...reading a book about a bunch of teenagers involved in trying to solve a murder...and coming to the end before the murder is solved and the author writing 'to be continued' at the end. Spoiler alert: Don't bother reading this book--it basically has no ending unless you want to spend more money, which I won't be. What a ridiculous thing to do. Also, while I'm at it, the title is ridiculous after you take the time to read up to the 'to be continued' ending with no murder solved.
