Gossip was a whodunit written brilliantly. Twist after twist made for a really interesting story and I was really impressed with how everything that was unveiled linked together and no clue went forgotten.We’re thrown right into the action at the beginning of the book and I loved that. I was instantly drawn into the story and eager to follow the investigation and find out who had been responsible for Janelle’s murder.At the beginning, Gossip did seem to switch POVs a lot, with more characters than I felt were needed so soon. But once the plot developed and it became more complex, I understood why there was a need to introduce a lot of characters and I soon lost any confusion.The characters were also written extremely well by Clara Grace Walker, each with their own well developed story. I loved Nick, his intelligence, dedication and obvious feelings for Jamie made him an endearing and intriguing character – not the typical perfect hero but one I was definitely rooting for just as much. Out of the side characters, my favourite was Danny – his understated wit and his conversing with Sarge really added some light relief to the story.A suspenseful plot with lots of twists and a great ending, Gossip was full-on entertainment and a fantastic read. A whole host of interesting character really made this book stand out from a lot of other whodunits I have read and I really recommend this book.4.5/5*I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
