🔴 In the history of my reading career, this book will be marked as the one which made me fall in love with crime thrillers. What a rollercoaster ride it was. 

🔴 The plot kept me glued to my seat not wanting to keep the book down. I just wanted to know what happens next ASAP. 

🔴 Absolutely loved Pip's production log entries and transcripts of interviews, made me feel like i was a part of the investigation all along. But i found her, i don't know, stupid? annoying? I mean going into Murder suspect's house, interviewing them, and yet not trying to keep a weapon or anything for safety? No not at all. She wanted to be brave. And don't get me started on the TEA with our last suspect. (Head Slapper) 

🔴 Ravi is a total sweetheart and the sensible one. My heart ached everytime he talked about Sal and how everything affected their family. 

🔴 Honestly i wasn't expecting multiple plot twists that kept coming back to back and i was surprised more than the last one each time. 

🔴 The chapters are super short and i really enjoyed the whole book. Didn't get bored for even a second. Looking forward to read the series as I've heard pretty good things about it.
