SPOILERS




I think my only issue with this book was the I Know What You Did Last Summer part of it all. I feel like the author could've given them another reason to lie to Pip for that long that didn't very much almost directly mirror the movie plot. Not to say it's the first time that has ever happened, but it kinda just took me out of it.

I VERY much enjoyed! A great murder mystery book that has A LOT of different layers. Only gave it a 4.5/5 because a dog dies & there a few unrealistic aspects. Still an EXCELLENT read though!
