I felt like the end was a little clunky and just very

“oh no you caught me I did it here’s my whole plan and story laid out bit by bit” which just doesn’t seem realistic I guess?? Like unless it’s the cops questioning you? Idk. I was also a bit I guess disappointed in Pip after what happens with Barney I thought she’d be super pissed and use it like a revenge moment instead of stopping the investigation. I guess I read her character wrong? She just seemed very steadfast and headstrong with everything else, it was weird for her to suddenly stop I think

overall a very fun and entertaining time however

One of the best murder mystery books I've read! Just when I thought I'd figured it out, there was more information to keep me guessing.
