This book was literally AMAZING. I was super surprised with the plot twists and every scene was insane. There were so many characters that I was so suspicious of and even if they weren't the main person, I loved how developed their stories were. I don't even know what to say because this book was just so amazing. You seriously have to read it.

Loved the book. It kept me hooked the ENTIRE time. Trying to plot out the murder as they did was so fun. The balance between revelation and character build was quite nice.

It only gets points off because of the ending. The love story between Ravi and Pippa felt rushed and weird. Age gap is old, how they developed felt odd… it felt to far-fetched for me. But maybe that’s what book #2 is all about…

I'm desperate to start the second book! The twists and tension in this book kept me so on edge and  it was so fun to follow along in the investigations and piece together the clues myself. Even then, the constant twists and turns of new information was unexpected and rerouted my train of thought!

This book is bussin. Took me a minute to get into it. I haven’t been on a fiction kick in a hot minute, but I can honest to goodness tell you I was hooked after page 67. When Pip shares her four theories of the murder, I knew I’d finish the book before the day was over

I liked it. A good feel to the book and I enjoyed the twists and turns as you accuse different people and you try to work it out. I wasn’t amazingly keen on the ending - I feel like it was a bit of a let down but I did enjoy it. Not sure I’d pick up book 2 hence why not 5 stars.
