Personally, I loved how Holly Jackson was able to mislead the reader into thinking they knew who the killer was, while leaving sneaky clues leading to the real killer the whole time. The perfect example of this was when Daniel and Stanley were seen by Pip and Ravi outside the town meeting while they were arguing. I was so sure they had something to do with the case. However, I did find it extremely inappropriate for Pip and Ravi to have a relationship in the end since Pip is a 17-year-old teenage girl in high school and Ravi is a 20-year-old man. Overall, Holly really outdid herself with this murder mystery book and I'm excited to see what will come next of this story.
