Everyone in Fairview knows the story.
Pretty and popular high school senior Andie Bell was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then killed himself. It was all anyone could talk about. And five years later, Pip sees how the tragedy still haunts her town.
But she can't shake the feeling that there was more to the story. She knew Sal when she was a child, and he was always so kind to her. How could he possibly have been a killer?
Now a senior herself, Pip decides to reexamine the closed case for her final project, at first just to cast doubt on the original investigation. But soon she discovers a trail of dark secrets that might actually prove Sal innocent...and the line between past and present begins to blur. Someone in Fairview doesn't want Pip digging around for answers, and now her own life might be in danger. …

I cannot describe how much I enjoyed this book. Alright time to finish the series and hope it’s just as good
Este es un thriller juvenil muy fácil de leer y que te atrapa a medida que la trama avanza. Tal como el título adelanta, la historia gira en torno a un asesinato que deberá ser resuelto por un personaje que no tiene la experiencia necesaria para hacerlo.
Pero.. Este personaje es Pippa, una adolescente que, impulsada por un proyecto escolar y con buenas ideas y mucho valor, se tomará el trabajo de desenterrar un antiguo caso de homicidio ocurrido en su ciudad para intentar confirmar que la verdad aún debe ser encontrada.
La historia nos adentrará en toda la investigación de Pippa; literalmente podremos ver sus anotaciones, las transcripciones de sus entrevistas y todo el material que va reuniendo junto a su amigo Ravi.
Me gustó mucho la forma en la que me llevó a investigar junto a ella, a realizar hipótesis, a sorprenderme sobre nuevas pruebas que encontraba y …

Me gustó mucho la forma en la que me llevó a investigar junto a ella, a realizar hipótesis, a sorprenderme sobre nuevas pruebas que encontraba y los giros que todo esto le dió a la historia.
Me encanta el género, tiene un poco de thriller, de policial y de suspenso, pero desde una narrativa juvenil y muy amena.
Súper recomendable ☺️
