As a huge fan of true crime podcasts, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Blair and Cameron are two believable teenage girls whose actions ring true throughout. The plot and subplots develop organically; nothing is forced. The girls uncover other crimes while investigating Missing Clarissa. However, nothing they do is too extraordinary for teenagers. Ripley Jones keeps them very believable. They get scared, they are awkward and they get in serious trouble for their actions. I hate books or movies where the teens have a set of super skills or extra knowledge that the normal teen wouldn't have. The description of the audio for their podcast made me laugh as I've listened to many podcasts that suffer from the "underwater" sound in their early days. This book is a good mystery and a good YA drama. Thank you to Net Galley, Ripley Jones and St. Martin's Press for the arc.
