Like the first book in the series, this was also an incredible book. I did find it to be a little less together than 'A Good Girls Guide to Murder' but I still absolutely loved the book. The characters and the plot line were well planned and executed. I watch and read a lot of crime based shows, movies and books and often find myself working out the ending way before I reach it but with this, there were so many options and twists that I found myself guessing over and over again as the plot developed.

Again, the audiobook only added to my reading experience with this book as it is a full cast audiobook but it also has phone calls as actual phone calls, when Pip is reading from her case notes, you can hear the movement of paper, when she records conversations, you can hear the equipment whirring and beeping etc. The audiobook was a fully immersive experience and it was brilliant. I also really enjoyed hearing elements of the podcast created by Pip in this book, it was a clever continuation from the first book.

This was a really good book. It hooked me from start to finish and it kept me on my toes. The plot twist truly got me, but then again, I’m not great at guessing plot twists.

The development of Pip and Ravi’s relationship 🥹🥹🥹. So cute.

I loved this book. Not as much as the first but still pretty close. The plot twist in this one was just as intense as the first. I did think it lacked something still compared to the first book but I'm not sure what. Still an amazing fast paced mystery.
