If I were a critic, I'd say Pippa is a contradictory of her own description of personality. Smart, bright, 'good' girl, yet she lacks common sense, or rather just has no sense of danger whatsoever, despite being an avid true crime podcast listener. One might say it's because her need to prove herself. I both love & hate that it keeps me guessing, and when I felt like I know for sure what actually happened, it just crashed all my theories.
But because I'm just a normal reader, and I rate books based on how much I enjoyed them, I'm giving this 9/10⭐. Couldn't put it down, delayed days of sleep to read more chapters. Can't wait to read the next one. If not for the plot, for Ravi Singh. (& Salil Singh)

Personally, I loved how Holly Jackson was able to mislead the reader into thinking they knew who the killer was, while leaving sneaky clues leading to the real killer the whole time. The perfect example of this was when Daniel and Stanley were seen by Pip and Ravi outside the town meeting while they were arguing. I was so sure they had something to do with the case. However, I did find it extremely inappropriate for Pip and Ravi to have a relationship in the end since Pip is a 17-year-old teenage girl in high school and Ravi is a 20-year-old man. Overall, Holly really outdid herself with this murder mystery book and I'm excited to see what will come next of this story.
