Adored this book as someone that dreams of doing something within the criminal psychology field. It got me out of a terrible reading slump and I was hooked from the start!

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.

Must say I LOVE this book— truthfully, the story concluded in a beautiful way, and each turn and twist that Jackon wrote kept me engaged until the end. I didn’t know who the killer was until the end, but Pip was the mastermind who kept me going from one red string to the next. Can’t wait to read the sequel!
