Love this book maybe even more then the first one. I listened it on Spotify but now I'm through my listening hours so I have to wait till next month to listen to the next book!! Love this series so much! Not my usual genre (that's why I listen to the audiobooks) but love it soooo much!

If you liked the first book,  you'll like this one.  

The podcast format was pretty tough to belive but if you look past that,  it was busy as good as the first one.

♡ Missing Person
♡ True-Crime Podcast
♡ Amateur Detective Work

Again, much like the last book I loved the extra details in the formatting.  The little details like that are really lovely.

This book started out a bit cliché, I mean asking a teenager to help find your missing (possibly dead) brother seems totally full proof.  However, I did get invested after a while and the plot really went in a different direction than I was expecting.  The “who did it” was a bit random but it was entertaining to read about the journey.  

Pip having a true-crime podcast totally fits her vibe.  If she doesn’t become a detective after this I’m going to scream because she’s doing the whole police departments job at this point.

Spice Level: n/a
POV: First Person
Release Date: 02, March 2021
Rep: BIPOC (Main and Side Characters), LGBTQIA+ (Side Character)

the plot is insane - i could not recall it now if you asked me. (at least not exactly).
it was extremely suspenseful and i binge-read the last third of it, because i simply could NOT put it away. 

it is super interesting how this book (series) deals with the idea of "good" and "bad" - noone is really completely "good" and noone is thoroughly "bad" either. 

apart from that i also love how holly jackson plays with the formatting in suspenseful scenes, and her writing style is (apart from genius and very clear-cut) also full of metaphors. i love it!
