Queen B’s Decree: Tell Me What Really Happened was a perfect example of the “unreliable narrator” trope, with four specimens.
Four teenage witnesses are in separate interrogation rooms and are asked their version of events on the night that Maylee went missing. The pacing is a little slow at the beginning, as it was the same story regurgitated through four different characters. But you soon see the characters’ personalities develop and more of the story begins to unfold.
The mystery was interesting and I was definitely hooked. Maylee…was not an easy character to care about, so by the end I was more interested in the facts and less about her.
Petra was my favorite character. She was loyal, pragmatic, and the star of Tell Me What Really Happened.
