No, it´s not a young adult read. The victim is part of a group of teenagers and through the podcasts the reader gets in-depth-knowledge of the group and how the different characters thought about each other. And since the crime has been twenty years prior to the actual story, we get to know the perspective of the characters as adults as they are looking back on their teenage-selves.
Ah, ok. Thanks for clarifying - I was pretty sure it wasn't given your disinterest in YA, but the premise of the podcasts sounded interesting enough that I thought it might have appealed to my BFF's daughter, a reluctant (dyslexic) reader.
