I have to admit, I didn’t love book 1 of this series. But due to many passionate recommendations for the series as a whole, I decidedly to continue the series… and i am SO GLAD I did. This book was everything the first one wasn’t—emotionally complex with an amazing plot and an incredibly interesting and layered cast of characters. Pip was so much more realistic and I loved her all the more for it. I read this book in a day and I can’t wait to go and read the final installment.

Like the first book in the series, this was also an incredible book. I did find it to be a little less together than 'A Good Girls Guide to Murder' but I still absolutely loved the book. The characters and the plot line were well planned and executed. I watch and read a lot of crime based shows, movies and books and often find myself working out the ending way before I reach it but with this, there were so many options and twists that I found myself guessing over and over again as the plot developed.

Again, the audiobook only added to my reading experience with this book as it is a full cast audiobook but it also has phone calls as actual phone calls, when Pip is reading from her case notes, you can hear the movement of paper, when she records conversations, you can hear the equipment whirring and beeping etc. The audiobook was a fully immersive experience and it was brilliant. I also really enjoyed hearing elements of the podcast created by Pip in this book, it was a clever continuation from the first book.

very predictable as was the first one. at least we got to see a little more of pippa's personality. it was a fun read but that's basically it. im not sure why everyone keeps saying there are a lot of plot twists because there really isnt. also PLEASE PLEASE stop with the pop culture references, its embarrassing.

I’m enjoying watching Pip spiral a little. It makes sense considering the way everyone treats her.

Pip insists she done with the detective life… or so we thought. Pip has to decide if she takes on another case or leaves behind the world of truth hidden behind the disguise of murder?
