First of all, what a great way to end the series! 
I really liked Pip's development
into a spiraling, traumatised character.
At times I couldn't predict her next move. When she
killed DT
I was shocked. At the same time, I've never been more scared for her. That
abduction
was so nerve racking. All the suspense and plotwist were done so well.

 My only critic is the following: I thought
Jason Bell being the DT Killer
was very predictable especially after 
Andie's 'last words' e-mail.

I also really didn't like the last two chapters and the time skip. It just created unnessecary tension, we didn't need. It would be better, if the readers would have some more time to breathe. It was clear that
Ravi would get in touch with Pip
again. 

However, the crime aspects (e.g.
the abduction, the almost-murder and the real murder. As well as the cover up, ESPECIALLY the cover up
were done so well that the two cons don't weigh that much to me.
