Reviews for Perfect Score (Hunt A Killer, Original Novel)

[Erin M · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Well written and well-read. The case was interesting, if harder to follow the clues in audio format, and the characters were likable and shady in all the right places. It was hard to get into initially but once I got a groove, the book was solid. Especially liked the social justice / close up of class inequalities. A really strong novel
