I just read this one and didn't really get anything out of it :/ Idk. Honestly, I loved the description of the train (and am super jealous of the room they were staying in) and Charleston. I would go on this trip.
I just couldn't get invested in the mystery I guess. Possibly because it involves Derek Masters (although his plots don't bother me as much on re-read). Somehow, the BSC just can't make show biz interesting. Idk why I couldn't get into it, because this book seemed so dramatic! Smoke bombs (twice?), a murder setup... it definitely has its wtf moments, I guess I just couldn't connect with all the characters.
Lol, they tie his arms back with a pair of pants? Yeah, this book is really weird.
The subplot was one of the most pointless on the BSC verse imo. I just didn't care at all. Ben Hobart's random downgrade is so awkward to read. Funnily enough, he IS acting 11, but 11 is supposed to be a young adult in the BSC verse.
Yeah, this one was just kind of weird for me and I couldn't connect to the mystery at all. Too many characters for a pretty short book. 3/10 feels harsh, but I had to look up the plot to remember things, so that might be an accurate score.
