A really good mystery. My guess from the beginning mostly panned out, but the twists and turns were enough to keep me unsure until the end

♡ Cold Case 

♡ Small Clues

♡ Murder Board

The plot was a bit cliché but entertaining enough.  It is unfortunate that the US edition had so much edited out, there are just moments that feel skipped over or some parts that seem missing general.  But in the end it was a good story.

I loved the formatting of this book, all the extra details like the schedules, text messages, were all formatted nicely.  It was an entertaining to read, it had twists and turns, an unlikely friendship, a killer hiding in plain sight, and a school project that turned into solving a murder.

Spice Level: n/a

POV: Third Person

Release Date: 05, January 2021

Rep: BIPOC (Main Character and Side Characters), Lesbian (Side Character)

I loved this book. I listened to it in four days...with a big chunk of a Saturday dedicated to listening to it during all my activities that day as I couldn't stop listening! I couldn't wait to see what happened next. There are so many intertwining storylines that keep you guessing throughout, and the way it is interwoven with extracts from Pip's project notes (i.e. the investigation log) is fantastic and keeps the story moving. While I did guess the killer the facts around what happened were a total surprise. A very unique story and I can't wait to read/listen to the rest of the series.
