Honestly wasn’t expecting much since I’m not much of a murder mystery or true-crime person but I decided to try something different and I’m absolutely hooked. The suspension, Pip and Ravi’s relationship, every part of this book is amazing. I’d say it’s a great book to start off with if you’re looking into murder mystery or true crime-type books.

The first thing I have to say is that this book held me from beginning to end and that despite being written in the 3rd person (being that I prefer to read books written in the 1st person) it has a writing style that really captivated me. It is mysterious, has an unexpected ending and nothing is what it seems. I really felt like I was investigating with Pip.

And to end on a good note, I just want to point out how perfect Ravi is.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Sincerely, I really wasn't counting on that ending. Elliot being Sal's killer? Becca seeing her own sister die and the only thing she did was hide her dead body? I seriously came to consider that Andie had run away and killed Sal! But what really made me cry (I was probably the only person who cried reading this. It's not my fault I'm so emotional) was Barney's death... I thought that whoever it was, the "Unknown" was going to keep his promise.
