The book was okay, earning a solid 3 stars. The narrative is presented in a capstone project format, which gives it a refreshing start, but this wears off quickly and it becomes just another YA mystery novel. As a mystery, it is decent and entertaining with expected twists and turns. In the end, it wraps up nicely. I was persuaded to read it based on the high ratings it received, but it did not live up to my expectations. I may not have been the target audience.

Lastly, regarding the Dutch ebook publication, it was formatted as a PDF even though it is in epub format. This was likely done to mimic the layout of the printed version, but this did not work well on my e-reader as it was poorly scaled. I ended up switching to the English version, which was much more e-reader friendly. Buyers should be aware of this issue.
