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.
