I thought this was going to be a predictable book and while I did have some correct assumptions about the ending I was still very shocked to how everything unraveled. This book really left me wanting more Pip and Ravi content so I will be quick to read the sequel. I especially like that they showed the victim for who she really was instead of making her out to be an angel taken too soon. Overall a very interesting read that had me hooked the entire time.

Usually I don't read much thrillers and murder mysteries but this book is the exception. This book was such a pleasure to read. It was very intriguing and captivating. I felt like the more information Pip learned, the more I wanted to know too.
I never guessed who the killer was, I was processing everything way slower than Pip. Especially towards the end, where the pacing was going faster than usual.

Definitely read the trigger warnings before picking up this title.

This book got me out of a reading slump and into reading mystery novels. I really enjoyed the fast pace of the book and I related to Pip a lot. This book is definitely for fans of plot focused novels and while the characters were easy to either love or hate there was not a lot of development of the actual characters other than to get closer to the answer to the mystery. Overall I loved this book and I think anyone that is a fan of mystery or
is in a reading slump should read this.
