Catch Your Death

How it reads

Catch Your Death is young adult (young-adult mystery thriller, specifically), and its dominant mood is tense. The suspense is the kind you feel in your shoulders. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in several locations, in the present day, told in the first person by several narrators. Its central concerns are friendship, secrets and justice. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 448 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
