All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarzab


Audience: Young Adult
Genre: Murder Mystery

Worldcat Summary: 
After the death of his ex-girlfriend Carly, Northern California high school student Neily joins forces with Carly's cousin Audrey to try to solve her murder.

Bookskoetter Rating: 3/5 (Originally was rated a 2.5, but I changed my mind!)



Bookskoetter Review: 
While I found this well-written murder mystery to be intriguing, it certainly wasn't a page-turner.  The story, which is told from alternating points of view, is very slow at times, which I believe will cause many teen readers to lose interest.  However, it does have a few fast-paced parts of the plot, and the ending may surprise readers.  Readers who enjoy thoughtful, detailed stories with detailed emotional descriptions will enjoy this murder mystery.
