The character development of Pip from the beginning to the end of this series I can imagine is quite polarising. I must admit I lost a bit of love for the new Pip and some of the decisions she made, but Jackson crafted such a well-developed, realistic character that no matter what she did I always rooted for her.
This book definitely leans more thriller than mystery and again might be a bit of a shock to readers of this series. Every twist and turn lead to more danger, more shock and a lot more gasping. I was pulled along this ride and towards the end especially, could not tear my eyes away.
Overall, The Good Girls Guide to Murder series is so well plotted and developed, the characters will stick with you and the mysteries themselves are always thrilling. I was pleasantly suprised by the amount of seeds dropped in book one that reappeared in this last installment, a feat of coming full circle.
Pick this series up if you want a fast and thrilling ride!

1) the reveal and in-depth explanation of how Barney (the dog) was murdered - this, to me, is so unnecessary and animal murder is something that completely turns me off from books. I didn’t like this in the first book, and the expansion and increased violence of it in this book is even worse.
2) Pip has COMPLETELY changed from who she was. Granted, she has gone through some life-altering things, but becoming a jaded individual who puts herself above others (not caring that there’s an innocent man in prison for DT’s murders to save herself from going to jail when she did commit manslaughter as an act of almost-self-defense) is so far from the character she was that it’s hard to empathize with her or want to continue to see her path in this story.
Overall, I think there was unnecessary violence that was disturbing and didn’t add to the plot, as well as character development that didn’t seem true to who the character was at their core.

I love how the plot was executed, and how events from the first two books were all tied full circle in this one, I always love when that happens. You kind of figure out the mystery early on in the beginning, but then the twists after come fast enough to leave it exciting. My only complaint is the very very end.
