This was a FANTASTIC and gripping mystery novel! It kept me guessing and speculating the whole time as more information and leads came to light. The final conclusion is surprising and difficult to guess (which I enjoyed greatly), but still made sense with the story! 

The characters of Pip and Ravi are so lovable and I love the conflicts Pip faces while trying to solve the case. The book is written in a perfect combination of Pip's self-written project log and third-person narration that allows the reader to fully understand all of the information, without dragging the novel along too much. 

This was a well fleshed-out mystery full of twists and turns that kept me engaged until the very end. I'm excited to read the rest of this series!
