“I have long believed that loving a boyband brings with it a wealth of transferable skills, but I never imagined solving a murder would be one of them.”

This book follows Harri- uni student and self confessed super fan for boyband, Half Light. When the band’s frontman,Frankie Williams (and Harri’s fave member) is accused of murdering his best friend,Harri is stunned. But, Harri is convinced of his innocence and together with a group of Half Light’s biggest fans sets out to prove it.

It’s told in First POV by Harri-who has a singular passion for Half Light, her life is formed around wanting to work for the band and Ava Eldred does a great job at juxtaposing expectations Harri and her friends have for the band vs. how those expectations can effect their idols.

Overall Eldred’s debut is a fun and original take in the Teen/Mystery Genre-very Nancy Drew meets BTS/One Direction (if Nancy was a super fan).It was an incredibly entertaining and addictive read.

I would definitely recommend to any fans of Murder Mysteries or Contemporary YA/Teen Fiction. Also, a huge thank you to Penguin Random House Children’s UK And Net Galley for this ARC
