This was an incredible way to finish the trilogy. I legitimately could not put this down. The only thing stopping this from getting 5* is my slight disbelief at a plot point at the beginning of part 2. So well written, and I loved reading it.

I really enjoyed this trilogy but I found the choices the main character makes a little frustrating and unrealistic at times. Girl I know you have reasons not to trust the police but like if you are for sure being tracked by a serial killer you gotta ask for protection even for your family's safety. I felt the ending was a bit rushed and sad but I do think it was satisfying overall.

Unfortunately I did not enjoy this one as much as the first two books.
The first half was excellent but it went somewhere I wasn't expecting in the second half and I didn't like that. The first half dealt with Pip's PTSD quite well and I was intrigued by the new case, although I figured it out quite quickly. However, I really struggled to get through second half of the book, and I was completely taken out of the story and characters. My enjoyment was gone and I just wanted it to be finished.

I still really recommend AGGGTM but wish I'd known about the controversial ending for AGAD before I started - I'm not sure I'd have picked up the trilogy though which is a shame as I loved the first two books!
