Oh my GODS. I was not prepared. So I read and enjoyed a good girls guide to murder several years ago and just somehow never read the rest of the series. But with the recent casting announcement I decided to pick it back up! I don’t read thrillers much anymore because I find them a bit anxiety inducing but occasionally I feel that it is worth it. This is one of those cases. Pip’s story in this book was so powerful. The mystery itself was so complex and nuanced with fantastic twists and I found that the book dealt with dark subjects (i.e. rape, the justice system, the gray area between good and bad) in a carefully crafted way. I love a good mystery once in a while but my favourite thing about this book was Pip’s development. There were some amazing character beats which I won’t spoil and I really can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. I just need my library loan to come though!

So just like the first one, there are tons of twists, and the ending was my favorite part. I would never guess it. Pip and Ravi's romance is still in the background simmering. (only fluff) I like the build-up to the court case. I wish we got Ravi's POV. I hope in the next book, she will move and go to college as her mom mentioned, just for a change of scenery but continue her podcast.

The big ones are from the last book. The court case for it is going on while pip looks at the new case. There's one scene towards the end of this book which is where the book gets the most violent with a gun and sets the place on fire.

Amazing book, plays with your emotions in a way that emulates real life losses and how death and crime are not always solved and ended with happily ever after.

I like Pip as a character better in this book. I like all the rest of the characters a lot better now also. The plot is as good as ever, and the plot twists were RIVETING
