Firstly, I really hope my girl Pip gets a LOT of therapy after what’s happened to her in the first two books!

I really enjoyed this book, I felt like I flew through it and it was such an easy read but also gripping. I just wanted to know what happened! I liked how it was similar to the first book but it was more of a “what happened” mystery as opposed to a “who did it” mystery. It felt familiar but not a carbon copy of the first book.

The ending was not predictable, as such, but I did have an inkling as to who was involved partway through the book so I did drop the rating by 0.25 stars. In saying this, I definitely didn’t predict the whole story and the why of it all so it was very interesting.

I got attached to the characters and felt for them as their stories unfolded.
And the relief I felt when Jamie was found alive, on my god!


I really enjoyed this and am excited to read the third instalment in the series!
