5.0

This book really had me hooked and I just couldn't put it down, it really was suspense filled as you follow Pip on the journey to what really happened to Andie Bell and her boyfriend, Sal Singh after it was believed for years that Sal had killed Andie and then killed himself due to the guilt of murdering his girlfriend. 
However, Pip uses this event for her EVQ and researches it in every way she can, including interviewing potential suspects and even using what has been said in these interviews to try and piece together what really happened. All while receiving threats to stop what she is doing and is even told to destroy her laptop and memory sticks that contain her research in order to get her dog, Barney, back. Only, Barney turns up dead... Despite all the threats, Pip still continues to work on solving this crime and is able to link a number on her phone to a number in Andie's diary, but who does it belong to? Did this person have something to do with her disappearance? 
Pip shows a willingness to prove Sal's innocence, despite him no longer being in the world with them. This works in her favour, even if she comes face to the face with the perpetrators and nearly gets herself killed in the process, but throughout it all, she had one person by her side... Ravi Singh. 
This was so worth the 5⭐ rating. I cannot wait to read the next two books!
