I Killed Zoe Spanos

For fans of Sadie or Good Girl's Guide to Murder - another book featuring a great audio production cast, 2 time periods, and a podcast within the narrative. Frick describes this as “Rebecca in the Hamptons” and I'd say that's pretty accurate! The audio was super well done and it was a good escapist read with some layers, and not as gritty/emotionally wrenching as Sadie.

Usually, YA Mystery/Thrillers are a total miss in terms of what I am looking for when I'm reading Mystery and Thriller but I Killed Zoe Spanos was such a welcomed surprise.

As silly as it may sound to others but the minute I saw that there was a map illustration included at the beginning of this book, I knew I was in for a fun time.

This book felt like A Good Girl's Guide To Murder at times with the jump between the story and interview transcript which made me super happy because it was something I loved about that series.

Mysterious and filled with plot twists, I didn't want to put the book down because I was itching to get to the bottom of the mystery of Zoe's death. I loved that it felt like I was attempting to solve her murder along with the characters.

What makes a great suspenseful mystery is unreliable narration and I Killed Zoe Spanos had that written perfectly. I was highly suspicious of every character that we came across and always believed that every character had something they weren't being completely truthful about.

This was a fantastic book!
