What does one say about a book that has left them at a loss for words?

This story started with young academic Pippa who had a love for learning, a love for true crime and ultimately a love for truth. We see her as she tries to unearth the mysterious disappearance of Andie Bell and attempt to prove Sal Singh’s innocence, with help from Sal’s younger brother Ravi. 

I would have loved to see more about Pippa’s personal life and have more on certain characters like Ravi or the Ward family but overall I really enjoyed the partners-in-crime dynamic between Pippa and Ravi and looked forward to every interaction between them. 

This book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me shake with anxiety. But it also made me have hope. Have hope in Pippa and Ravi and, above all, have hope in Sal.
