5.0

This was my first dive into mystery and I really enjoyed it! The story reminded me of Nancy Drew meets Pretty Little Liars in the sense that there is much more to the victims than what is initially thought. It's hard to write a review that doesn't spoil, so I'll end it there.

Pippa was a joy to read, and I am looking forward to continue this series!
