I had an absolute blast reading through this one just like the last one! And just like last time, the ending is...not very good. The mystery is good but it doesn't stick the landing. Oh, and the rage Pip gets was honestly funny and over dramatic. Even so, had a super fun time and that's what I'm here for, honestly even if the mystery was bad the whole time I'd enjoy these books lol

Didn’t love this one as much as the first. The podcast element didn’t take up as much space in this book, which was what really drew me to the first one.

This one is we even more heartbreaking and at some times a hard read. Also, the characterization of Pip seemed to me to diverge from the first, which I didn’t love too much. But I appreciate how the trauma of the previous case makes you feel like a live wire and how your reactions are just that much more intense than your normal.

I think the missing person element wasn’t as fast-paced as the first and I just didn’t feel as invested in comparison, but the last quarter of the book really unfurled at a breakneck speed that I just couldn’t put down.

Generally though, I do think this book benefits from having read A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder right before this one because there are many references to the characters in the first book, which is helpful to have fresh in your mind.
