The Agathas - Kathleen Glasgow & Liz Lawson

★★★★★

I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!!!

I began reading The Agathas on a Friday night and finished it today, a Monday afternoon (and I could've finished it sooner if I didn't have responsibilities to do HA).

The Agathas follows two young self-proclaimed detectives, Alice O. and Iris A. At the beginning of the book, Alice has returned to school after 'disappearing' for 5 days in the summer - which was the talk of the town - and which caused her to be on house arrest. That same day she returns to school, on Halloween, something happens to her ex-bestfriend, Brooke D. The book follows Iris and Alice as they try to uncover who caused harm to Brooke D. and it is a whirlwind of drama, emotions, nail-biting, page-turning moments. If you are into mystery, true crime, suspense, thriller - type of books, I recommend you give this one a read!

The Agathas had me on the edge of my bed/seat every single time I read it and I could not for the life of me put it down. I love books that allow my 'gray cells' (per Agatha Christie's words and reference) to use critical thinking, analyzing, and problem-solving skills. I did NOT expect the major plot twist at the end of the book; I mean, I audibly GASPED as I was sitting at my desk chair. But that is what kept me reading and reading and invested into this story. I recommend this to anybody who enjoys thrillers and suspense.

The Agathas is one of those books I will be piling up on my 'favorite books I have read' thus far.
