This book was probably my least favourite in the series but was definitely worth reading. Make sure you read Good Girl , Bad Blood before reading As Good As Dead, otherwise you won’t understand many references in As Good As Dead.

♡ Missing Person

♡ True-Crime Podcast

♡ Amateur Detective Work

Again, much like the last book I loved the extra details in the formatting.  The little details like that are really lovely.

This book started out a bit cliché, I mean asking a teenager to help find your missing (possibly dead) brother seems totally full proof.  However, I did get invested after a while and the plot really went in a different direction than I was expecting.  The “who did it” was a bit random but it was entertaining to read about the journey.  

Pip having a true-crime podcast totally fits her vibe.  If she doesn’t become a detective after this I’m going to scream because she’s doing the whole police departments job at this point.

Spice Level: n/a

POV: First Person

Release Date: 02, March 2021
