After the death of her cousin from a drug overdose, Hannah hides her identity and enrolls at her late cousin's school to try to determine who gave her the pills. Against her will, she is joined by a former nemesis: the champion of the school's debate team, with whom she frequently sparred when she was at her old school. Combining their wits, they investigate leads and ruling out suspect. The investigation reveals disturbing things about her cousin's friends and the way that the school is run. Hannah's obsession to find the culprit eventually puts her in danger.
A thrilling and immersive mystery with a decent plot twist at the end that helps the awkward story structure (halfway told through flashbacks) make sense. I found Hannah to be maddeningly opaque and the story full of details (like Hannah's interest in clothing and costume design) that had no bearing on the plot. However, the main mystery of who contributed to the death of her cousin and how culpable they were is compelling enough to make this an enjoyable read.
