The lying game (Sara Shepard)

So The lying game by Sara Shepard is about Emma, a girl who has to live the life of her twin Sutton after her sister was murdered. She doesn't know who has killed Sutton but everybody is a suspect. And the only person knowing that Emma's twin lost her life is the murderer himself.

I heard different opinions about this book series. Some people say that the story is pretty bad while others think that the book is brilliant. I have to admit that I was confused when I started reading it bc the book is written in first person view but the narrator is the ghost of the dead twin Sutton. So a few times she tells about Emma (who is obviously called Sutton by everybody) and in the next sentence she talks about herself. But as soon as you understand the scheme, the book's really easy to read and less confusing.
About the plot I can say that it's nothing especially good or exciting but there are a few chapters which I did enjoyed reading.
I actually don't have a theory about the murderer and the motive. That's why I'm looking forward to reading the next book and I hope that the story behind all this won't be disappointing.

In general I'd recommend this book to people who like this kind of mystery books. But honestly you have to make an own opinion about this book series bc I'm actually not sure whether I like it or not.
