This book really neatly tied together the trilogy,

Andie still being a part of the mystery felt fitting. 
That Pip didn't realize that Jason Bell was DT earlier felt a bit off, I knew that immedialy when she found out about his companys connections and that he was away on the night Tara was killed. She should have at least questioned what he was doing that night.

Overall I really loved how Pips character grew during the series, and how her trauma is dealt with. The pacing and events really kept me hooked all the way through and I was truly stressed out while reading. 
I'm now ready for the tv-series to drop and I'm really excited to see all the characters come to life!!

Pip! This book felt like a different person entirely. She was frustrating, unrealistic, and thought she was untouchable. The “mystery” was short, and very obvious. Not at all what I had hoped for for the series finale.
