My least favourite book of the series but I enjoyed that it revisited themes from earlier books. The character of Pip has changed a lot since the start of the series and I didn’t always enjoy her new personality

I didn’t enjoy the second half of the book as much because the whole story pretty much took a 180 but the first part was a tense and I was genuinely scared for Pip in many situations. 

I didn’t like the second part because everything that happens it because she thinks she cannot trust the police and by setting up the whole “How to get away with murder” thing. I also thought Jason being DT was pretty predictable from the start. I was still scared shitless for Pip.
