Just as well written, but not as enjoyable. Pip's decisions were very stressful to read.

unpredictable in a way, the ending crushed me and i honestly thought the book was going to end a completely different way before i was even half-way through it. read it in just over a day, love these fast-paced mystery books!

This series started off as a really interesting murder mystery but over the course of the series it's focus turns to trauma, how it affects you and what it feels like. Holly Jackson's description of PTSD is incredibly well done. All of the characters feel really rich no matter how small they are. It's a fantastic series
