Pip is trying to figure out how to move on after the second season of  her podcast, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. She’s not sleeping well, she doesn’t know if she should do another season, she’s about to go to college, and she might have a stalker. 

I was hoping that this would be similar to the last two books where Pip is interviewing and investigating to solve a local crime. It isn’t, and I wish I had known that before going in so I wouldn’t expect that. 

I was interested at first, lost my interest during the stalking stuff, was interested and then immediately lost it for Pip being kidnapped and everything that followed (and dragged on and on and on), and my interest kind of picked up again toward the end.


I don’t regret reading this book as it seems to have tied things up, but it was my least favorite of the series. The first one was definitely the best, the second was pretty good, and this one was decent but just not what I was hoping for.
