This was SO good! Although I figured out loosely the whodunnit side fairly early, I still had a great time seeing it all come together and figuring out the missing pieces. I love books like this for making you think about how it happened, but also about why the characters did what they did. I loved Pip and Ravi, they were so sweet together (even if we don’t really get to see them together). The format with the production logs sometimes made me lose interest a little because I wanted to keep reading the story part, but they were still interesting to see how Pip was piecing things together and gave vital information. I really loved this book and want more

Loved it!!!! I was planning on it being decent, but I really loved it! It was engaging and kept me wanting more. I solved it several times, being wrong multiple times. Lol

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.
