Cruel Summer by James Dawson - review

James Dawson, Cruel Summer

This is one of my favorite teen mystery books so far: it involves drama, romance and adventure. The book begins with a flash back to prom night, where a girl is dying, which goes onto be the main mystery of the book.

Then the book comes to the present, where a group of old school friends are staying in a villa in Spain, the middle of no where. An unexpected guest then turns up with proof that the girls death wasn't suicide, it was murder. And one of them is the killer…

As the book says, it's a hot summer of "death, drama and deceit…"

I would definitely recommend this book!
