I listened to this book and really enjoyed the presentation of it. It was a nice touch to hear the interviews and get to know characters through them.

This book is amazing the plot just never sits still and the characters are so believable and unique and I just loved it , however for some people this may be very triggering but if you do decide to read it I’m sure you’ll enjoy the story xx

A Nancy Drew/ Veronica Mars style murder mystery in a small sleepy English town where everyone knows everyone and hiding a secret is hard.
  
When Pippa decides to do a school project on the mysterious death of a local teen from five years ago, she finds that her questions won't go unanswered quietly or safely. 
  
Together with the alleged killer's brother, Ravi, Pippa delves into a quest that will leave her and her loved ones lives be changed forever. 
  
Holly Jackson starts this series off with a bang with this book. Using different styles to tell the story (diagrams, transcripts) the characters develop a depth and personas that really get the reader involved.
