What a fantastic end to Pip's story!
Still struggeling with what happened since she started looking into Andie Bell's murder for a school project, Pip begins to doubt her sanity when strange occurances seem to happen more frequently; an anonymous person always asking the same question: "Who will look for you, when you're the one to disappear?"... When she is sure her mind is not just playing tricks an her, she goes to the police to report the instances. However, police let her down once more, so she decides to look into it on her own. When she then finds a connection to a local serial killer and everything that's happened in Little Kilton comes full circle, Pip must keep calm, use her knowledge and wits to make it out alive.

Also, Pip and Ravi are just too cute - cannot wait for the adaoption.

An absolute character assassination of one of my favorite MCs. Wish I hadn’t read this last book and stopped at GGBB. Yeah. This was not it Queen Holly. 

Also

after the Andie email reveal about someone in the house with her being DT, how did Pip immediately not go to Jason. Like actually. Let’s think about how intuitive and efficient Pip was with clues/evidence in the first two books…i get that she had a lot going on in this book if you know what I mean but ffs girl. you’re THE murder girl. Still love this series and author. Just disappointed with this read
