What a great 'whodunnit' thriller! Not sure what age it's aimed at - either teen or adult, but I'm guessing more the teen audience as it has that younger feel and the main characters are teenagers.A young girl, Chloe, has disappeared. All that is found is a note at home 'gone for a run, back 7.30'. But she's not back at 7.30. She doesn't come back at all. Her body is found, and the hunt is on for her murderer. Schoolboy Garvie Smith used to go out with her, and he decides to try to solve the crime his own way, much to the annoyance of the detective leading the investigation, D.I. Singh. Garvie always seems to be once step ahead of the police, but also finds himself in more trouble than he may have realised.
Plenty of red herrings, dead ends - and school lessons missed! There are enough twists and turns (perhaps too many?!) to keep you guessing to the end.
