All aboard for the Orchid Drama Express。I guess one of the best things I can say about this book is that it's a short， quick read。 Though that isn't fair to how much I adore Scarlet， Plum and Mustard。 They are wonderful and the whole reason I made it through this book。Peacock is…still just as irrelevant today as she was at the start of the first book。 （Honestly， what is even her point？ What does she do？） I don't have any real feelings towards her。 I'm just neutral。Orchid， on the other hand， I ki All aboard for the Orchid Drama Express。I guess one of the best things I can say about this book is that it's a short， quick read。 Though that isn't fair to how much I adore Scarlet， Plum and Mustard。 They are wonderful and the whole reason I made it through this book。Peacock is…still just as irrelevant today as she was at the start of the first book。 （Honestly， what is even her point？ What does she do？） I don't have any real feelings towards her。 I'm just neutral。Orchid， on the other hand， I kind of hate。 I mean， she was my least favorite in the first book， and she basically takes over the storyline。 Any storyline， that is， that Green didn't take over。 （Or， even some he did， because they are in deep teen love。） （Which means they kissed twice and are obsessed with each other。） Because between the two of them， they are pretty much the whole plot for three books。 And I don't like Green much more than I like Orchid。So this was particularly fun for me。（Honestly， I never even understood why Orchid was here。 I mean， until I looked up the characters for the newest Clue re-do game， I didn't even know we had an Orchid - I'd never even heard of her before。 So， she felt out of place the entire time I was reading the first two books， partially because of that， but also because she isn't even Orchid。 I mean， there are so many secondary characters that have names that tie into Clue， but one of our main characters doesn't。 （Also， I would give that complaint a pass， if Orchid herself did constantly harp on about how she's really Emily。 I mean， if it was a real name change and 'this is who I am' I'd be cool with it。 But Orchid thinks that Orchid was a front while really， she's Emily。） （Also， there is a character from Clue itself that's called Rusty Naylor。 So…definitely less credit to the author for that pun than I originally gave。））（And then there's the ending。 Or， should I say， endings？ The whole this could have happened， but didn't works okay in a visual medium， for me， but is a total failure in print medium， for me。）（Also， the whole naming the book after how and where of the murder victim only really works when there's a murder victim in that room that was killed by that method。 The second book title was a stretch and this one doesn't work at all。） 。。。more

I loved this book。 It's a triumphant finale to a great trilogy。 It even has you wondering if the solution to the first book was the right solution。 Plus there are delightful hat tips to the movie， including the "that's how it *could* have happened。 but what about this" endings。 A must read if you love mysteries。 I loved this book。 It's a triumphant finale to a great trilogy。 It even has you wondering if the solution to the first book was the right solution。 Plus there are delightful hat tips to the movie， including the "that's how it *could* have happened。 but what about this" endings。 A must read if you love mysteries。 。。。more

A thrilling conclusion to a trilogy。 It is going to be nearly impossible to write a review without spoilers。 So what I will say， is that the Murder Crew is back in the final installment。 It is springtime of their junior year and they are reeling from the events of the 1st two books。 Then a couple more people die， one that seems like natural causes， then one that was suspicious。 Who is to blame and what was the motive？ We get two fake endings and then a real one which gave me "choose your own adv A thrilling conclusion to a trilogy。 It is going to be nearly impossible to write a review without spoilers。 So what I will say， is that the Murder Crew is back in the final installment。 It is springtime of their junior year and they are reeling from the events of the 1st two books。 Then a couple more people die， one that seems like natural causes， then one that was suspicious。 Who is to blame and what was the motive？ We get two fake endings and then a real one which gave me "choose your own adventure" vibes but was a little confusing。 The thing I wished for hard at the end of the 2nd book？ Maybe it came true。 Either way I will miss these characters so interestingly named- Orchid， Scarlett， Peacock， Plum， Mustard and Green。 。。。more

I thought this was a good conclusion to the Clue Mystery series， lots of twists and turns， and of course some high school drama。 I have a soft spot for books about boarding schools and Clue， so this was perfect series for me to read。 I recommend this series to anyone who likes a somewhat fun mystery。

Excellent conclusion to the Clue Mystery series， with some stellar nods to the movie。 'Ballroom' keeps us guessing through most of the book， and even second-guessing some of what we read in the previous books。 This is exactly the kind of edge-of-your-seat， plot-twisting mystery that makes you want to re-read the series to pick up on any clues that may have been sprinkled throughout。Highly recommended YA mystery/thriller series！ Excellent conclusion to the Clue Mystery series， with some stellar nods to the movie。 'Ballroom' keeps us guessing through most of the book， and even second-guessing some of what we read in the previous books。 This is exactly the kind of edge-of-your-seat， plot-twisting mystery that makes you want to re-read the series to pick up on any clues that may have been sprinkled throughout。Highly recommended YA mystery/thriller series！ 。。。more
