I absolutely loved this!
What an adorable prequel. I think often prequels fall into the trap of just getting readers hooked with the name of their characters but there's nothing of substance in them. This prequel not only had an interesting and fun mystery to solve (I'm a sucker for murder mystery parties) but we got to explore the friend group dynamics more and actually see what convinced Pip to take up the Andi murder case as her project. It's just a great character study mixed with a good plot and mystery all in one.
Loved the slight twist at the end also, flustered and angry Pip is absolutely adorable XD
