Another rich kid murder mystery

There seem to be a lot of these kinds of books being published nowadays. Rich kids committing murders in nicely twisting ways to make it seem like any person in the group could have done it because the murdered victim was a complete scumbag who hurt all of them in various ways whether is was by cheating on them or betraying their friendship. Having money doesn't solve all problems and sometimes it takes a murder to fix it, such as this case with the serial cheater, Blaine. Despite those common things, this book was a fun read, mostly because of the setting. It would be nice to have a whole bunch of money and be able to throw a getaway after graduating with a 1920's theme and all the getup to make it seem like you are really thrown back in time. I also found the storyline intriguing and did not guess who right away because all the characters had motive and opportunity it seemed. Lots of twistiness and going forward and backward in time though the frequent jumps of narrator threw me sometimes. It mostly ended satisfactorily and I did enjoy Kassidy's nod to the movie that she and Izzy both loved. So this was a decent and fun book.
