This book is kind of set in a modern-day Harry Potter world, where some people are magic and most people aren't, and the magic people go to school to learn magic and all the other things they need to know. At one of these magical schools, there's a grisly murder in the school library, and the principal hires a non-magical private investigator to find out whodunit. This investigator is the twin sister of a magical teacher at the school, although they haven't talked in years--so there are all sorts of layers about family and belonging and being left out that are a part of this story. I really liked the magic in this book--it seemed more "real" and believable than the magic in Harry Potter--and I liked how the murder mystery got resolved in the end.
