Omg! This book was so good!
When I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it and discussing it with my friend who had read it
It was so tense and stressful in the best possible way

Loved the book. It kept me hooked the ENTIRE time. Trying to plot out the murder as they did was so fun. The balance between revelation and character build was quite nice.

It only gets points off because of the ending. The love story between Ravi and Pippa felt rushed and weird. Age gap is old, how they developed felt odd… it felt to far-fetched for me. But maybe that’s what book #2 is all about…
