They were chosen for that detention due to phones going off in their backpacks which weren't theirs.
Whilst Mr Avery goes to check on the events outside, the students on detention are talking when Simon drinks water he says tastes weird. Then he's on the floor, having an allergic reaction.
But all the medication in the college and on Simon, was gone.
An hour after he started reacting, he was dead.
Then police and councillors get involved and each character undergoes investigation as the truth as to how Simon died comes out as peanut traces in the water and cup he drank from.
The story is obviously not one that's simple, it's a mystery after all. I'm using no spoilers so I'm summing this one up on my thoughts throughout reading it. It uses Tumblr as the outlet of the murderer's voice in their messages and through them we find out they were in the room when he died which makes the book more gripping. It was a little slow in parts, but I'm impatient at finding out more details too so it worked both ways there. We definitely learn more about the suspects characters as we go on and how Simon wasn't liked by a lot of people for the things he did as he ran an app which revealed a lot of secrets people had hidden and could, would and have destroyed relationships. The last part of the book really changes the normal idea back around and then more comes to light around the death of Simon, I certainly didn't predict this one!
The book app messages are written in a style alike Gossip Girl whilst the secrets and lies remind me of Pretty Little Liars.
This book was kindly sent to me by the publishers for review!
