A super fast-paced and fun murder mystery that definitely helped me on my journey to get out of this damn reading slump!

While solving the murder itself was engaging, I think the characterization was lacking. Pip has no discernible qualities besides an insatiable need to solve crime, and there’s no compelling motivation for why she is this way besides that she always felt like something was off about the case. Her friendship with Ravi was endearing on the surface, but it had no substance to get me emotionally invested. 

I did clock Mr. Ward as the killer pretty early on, but then forgot about it until Pip found the note in her locker. Thank god there was a follow-up twist after Pip turned him in—I would’ve been far more disappointed in the ending had Mr. Ward been the only killer.
