Although it’s not obligatory to read it (because this is just Pip playing a mystery game with her friends), in this short novella of less than a hundred pages you can take a peek of how the main character likes to solve mysteries and how/why she decided to solve the case of Andie Bell for her school project (which is the main plot of the first book). It was a really fast read so I recommend it to anyone who wants to start these books.

It was nice to get to be able to be with all of these characters again and see the "hints" that allude to the future events in books 1-3. I'm now feeling the urge to re-read the series!
I almost gave this 4 stars because I was so let down at the "murderer reveal" - but after some thought, I can see how that was purposeful and added to our beloved Pip's inspiration.
Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Random House for a copy of this e-ARC in exchange for my honest review!
