AHHHH THIS WAS SO GOOD. THE HYPE IS TOTALLY VALID. READ THIS NOW, AND ESPECIALLY BEFORE THE NETFLIX SERIES IS OUT!! 
this is one of the books where I keep asking myself why I haven't read it before? What kept me waiting?? I missed out on this for so long! 
Also Ravi and Pip? I'm in LOVE WITH THEM. AND WE WERE ROBBED OF A FIRST KISS SCENE!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN 3 MONTHS LATER! And Victor's humor??? Josh copying that humor?? Grade A! Had I not read a spoiler, I would never have guessed who the killer was. This was so good. I expected the novel to end on a cliffhanger for the second part, but it was surprisingly concluded now I'm even more scared for what's to come haha.
I also loved the diverse cast, it felt so real, and so delightfully BRITISH. I love small town murder mysteries. I love being shown transcripts, chats, pictures and murder maps. Pls more books like this.

Definitely a five star read. I loved every second of the book. The plot had me so invested and the characters were just ahhh. You won’t regret reading this.
Also Cara is just the best character

Unglaublich spannendes Buch mit so vielen Plottwists und Höhepunkten, dass man es kaum weglegen kann. Die Story ist sehr detailliert gedacht und die Logik bei einem so komplizierten Fall zu halten ist beeindruckend.

omg. i have never needed to finish reading a book so badly in my life. i actually stayed up later to read more of it (not finish it - i was sleepy), which i have never done before. it was quick-paced, but was still set out in a way that meant i could try to figure out the crime alongside Pippa (some of which i actually got right!). another thing i really liked but doesn't matter is that actual handwriting was used when a character wrote stuff down, rather than a handwriting-like font.
