YA
Amateurs series.
The young sleuths from The Amateurs--Seneca, Maddox, Madison, and Aerin--reunite to bring closure to the murders of their loved ones by following clues left for them by an elusive serial killer. With minimal character development and superfluous romantic subplots, the appeal of this contemporary crime novel is a twisty plot driven by the murderer's cat-and-mouse game with the teenage detectives.
