This book really neatly tied together the trilogy,
Andie still being a part of the mystery felt fitting. 
That Pip didn't realize that Jason Bell was DT earlier felt a bit off, I knew that immedialy when she found out about his companys connections and that he was away on the night Tara was killed. She should have at least questioned what he was doing that night.

Overall I really loved how Pips character grew during the series, and how her trauma is dealt with. The pacing and events really kept me hooked all the way through and I was truly stressed out while reading. 
I'm now ready for the tv-series to drop and I'm really excited to see all the characters come to life!!

♡ Cold Case
♡ Feminine Rage
♡ How to Get Away with Murder

Wow, what a roller coaster this book was.  The most tense out of the series for sure.  I got through the first part then quickly worried how everything would come together by the end.  Which I’m super happy with how this ended.  Everything came full circle and it was so satisfying to read even if some parts were anxiety inducing.  Pip really slayed with her last case (pun may or may not be intended).

And yes, this book also has stunning formatting with all the extra details in the design of the book.  I absolutely loved this series and highly recommend it.

Spice Level: n/a
