The book was very interesting and I liked the way it was formatted with the epq's. The only thing I found tedious was how the eventual reveal was written over so many chapters. It was a little bit too drawn out and then a sudden finish at the end.

After we found out that Elliot killed S, I felt we should have been told faster how Andi Bell was killed as it seemed like the tone was 'oh well happy days' and only Ravi and Pippa cared which is highly unrealistic.

This really isn’t my genre so it’s not that surprising that I didn’t enjoy it that much. I felt that it was too long, there were too many clues followed, so a lot of the time it did not feel like they were moving forward. The story stirred from being realistic to quite dramatic. When things started to escalate a bit more at the halfway point and Pip took more risks I also felt more and more uncomfortable with two teens trying to solve a murder case and not involving any adults in it. And then the resolution of it all felt pretty underwhelming.
I didn’t feel like this was a bad book, I also wouldn’t say it’s a fantastic book. But I can say for sure that the book wasn’t for me.
