Every chapter kept me on my toes. At times I thought this book was reading my mind and then a curveball would be thrown in and I’d be left reeling.
I loved following along with Pip and Ravi making my own theories as they went. I also loved the subplot

of these two crushing hard on each other. It is what I like to call a sweet and slow burn. There’s something so wholesome about the both of them, I can’t help but root for them!I love Pip. I love Ravi. I love Pip and Ravi together. But most importantly and to end this review properly. RIP Sal and RIP

Pip has such a caring heart, and it’s obvious through her reasonings on why she started this in the first place. I enjoyed the sweet romance subplot and think that it occurred naturally through the course of events.
I don’t want to go into the entire plot of the book because I think it’s more enjoyable going into the story without it.

But it loses half a star for killing the dog.Spoiler

The story was written well and it was fast paced which is exactly what I prefer for thriller/mystery reads. I love the way Pippa analyzed the leads, I could see her mental gears working out at each turn. What really impressed me was how Holly Jackson managed to keep

By the looks of how connected the suspects were to each other, including non-POI, I knew there had to be two of them.This book was so well done. I'm excited to see how the rest of the story unfolds in the second one.
