I loved Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series so I was excited to listen to this book. Her fantastic writing had me gripped once again and unable to guess what the truth was at all - always a tricky feat with a novel like this. I loved how I unravelled the mysteries along with Belle and found it very hard to stop listening as I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. 
The only two drawbacks for me were some similarities between the plot lines of this book and the GGGTM series in the final chapters, as the rest of the book was so unique and unexpected in terms of plot. The other is that, while the narrator was otherwise excellent throughout, they cannot do a good British accent so that was a bit jarring! 
All in all, I’d highly recommend this book.
