4.5

Again, don’t love the language. Also this book is awfully similar plot lines to the first just a thought. BUT OH MY GOSH

I KNEW FROM THE VERY BEGINNING I DIDNT LIKE CHARLIE GREEN I KNEW IT SINCE PAGE 191 and I’ll admit I thought he was child Brunswick for a little while but when the truth came out I immediately knew he was Layla and the whole plot fell together woah

This time it's a current case with lots of twists and possible suspects.  More serious than the first book.

mysterious and interesting. after AGGTM, this book takes some of the consequences of the last and manages to be a consistent and coherent follow-up. 

pip isn’t my favorite character

- she can be a little insensitive to some of her co-characters (especially Nat!) and has inexplicably become an expert at police investigative procedures without development of those skills. i would have loved a chapter or two of her enjoying casual researching on investigations, just so her almost over-professional knowledge is explained better. that also would have made a fantastic contrast with the end, where she experiences this from a different side, as a direct witness. either way, pip’s mental health and the way it is discussed were very strong points in this book.

i enjoyed how the different characters were introduced and how a new mystery was developed without entirely neglecting the first. that was impressive and really immersive.

The book was really good but make sure that you read the first book in series for some of the references in this one.
