Wow! Just wow! The twist in the second half of the novel really drew me. It was so compelling to see how Pip got away with her own murder. I was kind of disappointed to see we never truly got the payoff of Max Hastings's case, but the ending makes it clear that they had won, even if it was implied. Ravi messaged Pip, meaning that she no longer had to be isolated from him, meaning Max Hastings was finally put away. Thank god! I loved this series so much! The whole full-circle nature of the mysteries connecting all three books together was really well done. This was a gripping finale and I loved every moment.

Wow. Just… Wow. The best book I’ve read this year. By far. Oh my god, I can’t stop crying. Have I ever read a book that’s made me feel more in quality and quantity???

As Good As Dead felt a lot darker and more intense than the previous books. 

I don’t think it’s my favorite out of the trilogy, but I thought the ending was a decent conclusion.

The text message at the end…. Ahhhhhh. I think it was a clever way to end the book

I accidentally read a spoiler of who the killer was so it being Jason did not surprised me but the whole scene of Pip trying to escape, pip leaving her marks and fingerprints everywhere is actually very informative and much more than just a book plot. This can be used during real life situation. The whole coverup and pip trying to find alibi and burning down the place was absolutely insane. The detail of the body temperature and everything. It's probably the best one out of the other 2 AGGGTW series. Absolutely loved it

What a fantastic end to Pip's story!
Still struggeling with what happened since she started looking into Andie Bell's murder for a school project, Pip begins to doubt her sanity when strange occurances seem to happen more frequently; an anonymous person always asking the same question: "Who will look for you, when you're the one to disappear?"... When she is sure her mind is not just playing tricks an her, she goes to the police to report the instances. However, police let her down once more, so she decides to look into it on her own. When she then finds a connection to a local serial killer and everything that's happened in Little Kilton comes full circle, Pip must keep calm, use her knowledge and wits to make it out alive.

Also, Pip and Ravi are just too cute - cannot wait for the adaoption.

While Pip isn’t as naive as she was two books ago, there is still just a lot in this novel that represents a more juvenile perspective on life and that makes the story unrealistic. I love the romance and family elements that were included in this latest installment. I’m surprised, in a way, about Pip’s actions and her acceptance of them but lean towards believe that she did what was best.
