græder græder og græder så meget at jeg måtte kæmpe for at læse de sidste kapitler af bogen gennem mine tårer. måtte stoppe mig selv fra ikke bare, at bestille den sidste i serien online lige med det samme.

I really liked the themes this book talked about, things like justice and owning your darker side. While I liked the mystery and were super engaged with it, I did find the final twist/reveal to be super left field, very out of the blue and random

As soon as I finished the first book in this series, I put books 2 and 3 on hold at the library. Book 2 did NOT disappoint, and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The mystery was intriguing and was satisfyingly solved, in addition to wrapping up a loose end from book 1. There are some odd British-isms, like in the first book, despite being set in Connecticut, but everything else was so compelling I let that slide. Can't wait to read the final book in the trilogy!

Excellent sequel to A Good Girl's guide to murder. Extremely gripping, I burned through the audiobook in only a few days, finding every moment to find out what happened. 
I liked the new angle with a live case now and we get to see the reaction of the family as well as the way the podcast episodes affect them. Again, it wasn't the biggest twist of all time and I was able to work out most of it before the reveal. Although I did think that

it was a little bit too obvious to have the new neighbours as the killers. You knew they had to have something to do with the case otherwise why had they been included?

This edition of the audiobook (because I belive there is another) was very well done with effects put in that really added to the story. However I am tempted to recommend you read this in print as there were several images in the story that were mentioned but that obviously I couldn't see. Also there is one section where a witness uses a voice modulator and it was completely impossible to tell what he was saying. Luckily it wasn't too crucial but it was kind of annoying 
Looking forward to the 3rd book!

There is a side plot about a court trial of a serial rapist and his victims and also at the end Pip suffers from a lot of disassociation and ptsd-type symptoms
