What I liked about the book was how fast-paced it was. It really threw you right in to the mystery and didn't let up. The story was simple, not overly complicated, unlike the mystery. This mystery keeps you guessing, even if you can figure out a few things early on. I can honestly say that I didn't have the killer figured out until the reveal. The setting was done so well. I actually wish the story had been a touch longer just so we could explore the setting more.

Well, this book definitely hit the mark (with an arrow of course!) for campy horror. It takes place mostly at the closed down camp and has all the tropes for that kind of horror. You have groups of teenagers splitting up to try and contact someone, there is no signal for phones (except at the top of a very sketch lighthouse), and a person dressed up as the local legend Witch of Lost Lake hunting them all down with masterful precision and a bow and arrows. Reagan and Olivia find the truth. Campy.

Two Sides to Every Murder is set at the reopening of Camp Lost Lake, which had been shut down years ago after a night of brutal murders. It is a fast-paced, action-packed horror YA novel with an 80s/90s slasher vibe. The setting of the old camp during a storm is creepy and atmospheric. The tension was unrelenting as twist after twist unraveled, as secret after secret was revealed. It was highly entertaining and compulsively readable, easy to devour in one sitting. Summerween or spooky fall read.
