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.

I loved this book, I read most of it in one sitting and I was sad when I got to the end. I thought that the premise of the book was super unique and interesting. The way the chapters were laid out with the 'production logs' was really fun and I liked that they weren't just for show and you actually learnt stuff that was relevant to the plot through them. I spent the entire book trying to figure out who the murderer was and I want to reread the book and see how many bits of foreshadowing I can spot now I know the ending. I will say though that

I'm not sure I can forgive the author for killing the dog

.

I'm really glad that the writer has more books in this series and I can't wait to get my hands on them!
