Excellent sequel to A Good Girl's guide to murder. Extremely gripping, I burned through the audiobook in only a few days, finding every moment to find out what happened. 
I liked the new angle with a live case now and we get to see the reaction of the family as well as the way the podcast episodes affect them. Again, it wasn't the biggest twist of all time and I was able to work out most of it before the reveal. Although I did think that

it was a little bit too obvious to have the new neighbours as the killers. You knew they had to have something to do with the case otherwise why had they been included?

This edition of the audiobook (because I belive there is another) was very well done with effects put in that really added to the story. However I am tempted to recommend you read this in print as there were several images in the story that were mentioned but that obviously I couldn't see. Also there is one section where a witness uses a voice modulator and it was completely impossible to tell what he was saying. Luckily it wasn't too crucial but it was kind of annoying 
Looking forward to the 3rd book!

 Made me feel many emotions in a good way, I was on the verge of tears while reading chapter 28. Super interesting plot-twist in the end too. Fast read & I loved the romance except it felt a bit repetitive at times. Thought about this book for a while afterwards because I really like the book. Personally, I though it was better than the 1st book

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

So just like the first one, there are tons of twists, and the ending was my favorite part. I would never guess it. Pip and Ravi's romance is still in the background simmering. (only fluff) I like the build-up to the court case. I wish we got Ravi's POV. I hope in the next book, she will move and go to college as her mom mentioned, just for a change of scenery but continue her podcast.

The big ones are from the last book. The court case for it is going on while pip looks at the new case. There's one scene towards the end of this book which is where the book gets the most violent with a gun and sets the place on fire.
