Loved Pip - her seriousness is fun and I liked getting inside her head during the production log inserts. I also really liked the budding relationship between Pip and Ravi, and the banter from Ravi’s side with Pip. Her family dynamics were also fun, especially Victor, who was a typical caring but embarrassing dad character.
I liked the inclusion of how people of different ethnicities can be perceived and the nod to white privilege - it was interesting and added realism to the story, and hopefully opens people’s eyes to this in the real world.
I really enjoyed how the readers uncover the secrets alongside Pip and how she explains her various theories. They certainly got me guessing, although I will admit I got some wrong, for example, the HH, I noticed a few other things this could be through the story and expected a twist with this where it revealed Pip had missed something, nor did I expect the killer to be who it was, so clearly Pip is a better detective than me haha! It was interesting and fun to try and figure out the true story though, and the very final dangerous moment made me gasp out loud! Definitely didn’t see that coming to Pip!
Overall a very good book and one I’d recommend for mystery and thriller lovers. Going to make a start on the second one now!

You absolutely MUST read this book if you enjoy murder mystery and suspense. The entire series is spectacular, some other books decline as the series goes on, these just keep getting better.
The characters in this book are diverse and realistic, this book has no flat characters, plot holes, bad writing or anything of the sort.
Holly Jackson nailed it. Not reading this would be a mistake.
