Summary
“Neptune’s… a bloody lot. Not in the postcard way, either — more in that don’t drink the water unless you fancy growing a tail sort of way. People prance around like it’s California Dreamin’ — popsicles, boys in billowy board shorts, cheerleaders flipping like wind-up dolls. But you only need to scratch the surface to realise this place is built on secrets and rot. There are bones buried here. Figurative mostly, literal occasionally.”
British transplant and a new student Joy Walsh is navigating the sharp edges of Neptune’s high school. When Cassidy Casablancas’s death is ruled a suicide in late February 2005, Joy isn’t convinced. She teams up with new friends Tony, Warren, and tech wiz Mac to launch their true crime podcast, digging into the town’s secrets. Their investigations spark tension with Veronica Mars, Neptune’s idealistic private eye, who’s skeptical of their amateur sleuthing. Beneath the surface of rivalries and mysteries, Joy guards her own secrets about Cassidy’s last days — because in Neptune, nothing is ever quite what it seems.
