Amazing book, super gripping, so many twists and turns it kept me guessing throughout and I completely off track the whole time!
Super quick paced which meant I read it all in one sitting!
Amazing book!

Danielle does it again! Two Sides to Every Murder is a captivating murder-mystery that keeps the reader hooked from page one. I love the setup and although I could see one of the twists coming from early on, I was still so eager to find out how it would finish. I would encourage people to pick up this book if they are looking for a quick and intriguing read.

I’m grateful for the ARC but I'm sorry to say I just couldn’t finish this. I can see that it may appeal to teenagers but I just don’t enjoy the tension and what I did read was more violent than I’d expect in a teen novel.

I’m also just SO over dual narrators: I can’t keep it clear in my head who’s speaking or what time we’re in. Maybe in a ‘real’ book there are different fonts/chapter headings on each page etc. to help identify where you are etc. but on a kindle there are no hints and I just can’t be bothered.

I kind of want to know what the rest of the story was so I’ll read other reviews either way spoilers!!

Man, I loved this book. The easiest 5/5 stars to give!

It took barely a chapter to grab me, and then, I was utterly lost to the book. We’re talking easy hours sunk as soon as I began reading and I knew I’d be consumed until I got to the end of the mystery.

It’s the perfect story to hook you - a past murder committed - a previous generation haunted by the Witch in the Woods with a long shadow cast over Camp Lost Lake. But now, the camp is starting up again but the rumours that the Witch still roams determines to keep those off the camp grounds..

I loved the undercurrent running throughout and the sense of forboding. The daughter of the woman framed for murder is determined to clear her mother’s name- there’s a missing video recorder and if only she could find it to shed light on the truth…She meets more than she bargains for however and fate takes a turn.

I loved all of the characters. And there was plenty of twists and turns, deadly lost in the woods vibes and an interesting ending. Think I finished the book in two straight days as it was too compelling to put down!

I was pleasantly surprised by Two Sides to Every Murder: expecting a schlocky and at-best mildly diverting YA thriller, what I actually got was a gripping and well-written novel with some depth to it. Were some of the decisions made by key characters utterly infuriating, in a classic-horror-film-wtf-are-you-doing way? Absolutely yes. I lost count of how many time Olivia or Reagan completely nonsensically crashed off into the woods on their own while being hunted by a bow-and-arrow-wielding maniac. But as a fun, quick, read full of jump scares, this hit the mark.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4: recommended for fans of Karen McManus.

Another very modern story using the tropes and popular settings of summer camps, and young people solving a murder. This one was rooted in a murder in 2008 (side note: I still can't get over 2008 being long enough ago that there's teenagers old enough to look back and solve crimes from this era). It's all about local legends and spooky stories, but ends up down a twisty and turny path with family members all over the place and relationships being formed. Overall, a fun story with a bit of a farfetched ending.
