I absolutely loved this book, I could not put it down. I needed to know what happened next. It was so well written that when you thought you’d figured it out at twist happened and you realised you hadn’t had a clue what really was going on. It was just so fun.

I READ THIS WHOLE SERIES IN A WEEK! I pride myself on guessing who the prime suspect is, I was wrong soooo many times! This author knows murder mystery.

Definitely a five star read. I loved every second of the book. The plot had me so invested and the characters were just ahhh. You won’t regret reading this.
Also Cara is just the best character

I would give 6 stars if it was possible. Best book I’ve ever read. Definitely check content warning tho, I am not even sensible to half the topics shown in this book and still got shocked at some parts

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 5⭐. 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)
