All I can say without spoiling it is I really hope there’s more after this. It might not have been a cliff hanger ending but I just gotta know <what happened to pip’s family? did they ever find out? how did the trial go down? Three Minutes After The Verdict Ravi Reached Out 😭😭😭 what about their friends?? did the public find out jason is the real DT killer??> Such an incredible series, very worth the read.
