A quick and great read. I loved the setup of this book with it being notes for her project, case details, texts, interviews etc. I really loved pip and Ravi throughout, they weee both very clever and also doing it for the right reasons. The premise of this book is wonderful and if you like serial, true crime shows and/or podcasts then you will love this book. The writing is smart and quick so it keeps you reading. The way the author laid out the case allows the readers to try to solve all along. I didn’t guess the ending fully but the clues were all there. V quick, witty “true crime like” mystery. Great book and I can’t wait to read the second one
