2011 book 265

Gemma Halliday's Deadly Cool
In the midst of last-minute packing (come on, you know I'm a procrastinator), I read this fun YA mystery, about a girl whose awful ex-boyfriend is a murder suspect, and she agrees to clear his name. Otherwise it's a pretty typical YA book, though I will say that the protagonist's narrative voice is likably wry. I think this would have been a satisfying mystery if I was a kid reading it; as it was, it was entertaining enough that I'd probably read the sequel (I think this is the start of a series). B/B+.
