This book didn't quite meet my expectations, but it was pretty good. The mystery aspect was done very well, and I liked some of the characters.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a mystery-crime read.

I spent most of the story flip-flopping between my biggest suspects so this really kept my attention and was much darker than I was expecting. Pip is a great narrator—entertaining and smart as a whip. Her banter with friends and family was a very Sherlock-style comedy that was fun to read!

I put this down as a medium paced read because I cannot accurately depict it's rate. When I first picked up this book I literally couldn't put it down for two days straight, every spare moment was spent reading.
