Seneca Frazier is a college freshman who loves true crime, and when high schooler Aerin Kelley posts a message on Case Not Closed for help solving her sister's infamous murder case, Seneca can't stop herself from volunteering. Teaming up with her friend Maddy from the board, Seneca and a few other teens band together as detectives to solve Helena Kelley's high-profile disappearance and murder.

The Amateurs is a plot driven novel with intrigue but not a lot of substance. I really wanted to like the novel, and it had potential, but the characters are not well developed and the writing is a bit flat.
Some teens might appreciate the lack of complexity within The Amateurs, but others will find it lacking.

If you’d like to give The Amateurs a try, you can purchase a copy here on Amazon
