Took me a while to finish this but not because of the book more so I got side tracked by kdrama 😆 Wow so much tension and suspense in this book! I’m glad there was a good ending for Ravi and Pip! Much darker than the other books but none the less I still enjoyed it.

1:00am. I stayed up finishing this book. I honestly couldn’t put it down. This one is the most intense and anxiety ridden book of the series. And I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Pip has one last murder to solve and it is by far her most dangerous one. Along the way… her love of true crime come in handy and leads to saving her life. But she couldn’t do it without her trusty sidekick Ravi! Who is there in thick and thin.

I loved this series!! It was so good! The writing was amazing and Pip and Ravi are the cutest and best couple. I love them. I wanted a TEENSY bit more from the ending of this 3rd one. But I like when things are really wrapped up. But it was still so good. I’m sad it’s over!

***note: if you are going to read these books, there is an American version and a British version, which are the original ones. I highly recommend the British ones. They are much better. I read the American version of the 2nd book and just liked the British one much more!

The idea was good enough to keep me reading, but the navel-gazing was exhausting enough to have me skipping forward pages at a time without missing a thing. The plot just didn’t have enough complexity built into it to fill an entire book. So the author and editor filled what would’ve been maaaaany blank pages with repetitive internal dronings-on about how screwed up the protagonist feels, or play-by-excruciatingly-detailed-play explanations of “the plan”. Aaand all the books in the series require a measure of belief suspension, but this one had me actually “oh c’mon”ing out loud. Not only because the plot points were just faaaar too unlikely, but because regardless of past traumas, the characters simply did not adhere to what the author had established as their core characteristics. All that said, I still kiiiiinda liked it. Or at least, the parts I didn’t skip.
