4.5 stars. I read this in 2 days. It was definitely a page turner. I loved how it was put together; full transcripts of interviews, maps with locations and drive times, text threads, scanned pages of planners, etc. That visual element really drew me in. I didn’t realize this was YA until I started reading it. I’m kind of glad since i don’t like much gore. Pip’s senior project is to look into the 5 year old murder case of Andie Bell. She team up with the alleged murderer’s brother. Lots of intrigue. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series.
