Pip is not a detective anymore.
With the help of Ravi Singh, she released a true-crime podcast about the murder case they solved together last year. The podcast has gone viral, yet Pip insists her investigating days are behind her.
But she will have to break that promise when someone she knows goes missing. Jamie Reynolds has disappeared, on the very same night the town hosted a memorial for the sixth-year anniversary of the deaths of Andie Bell and Sal Singh.
The police won't do anything about it. And if they won't look for Jamie then Pip will, uncovering more of her town's dark secrets along the way... and this time everyone is listening. But will she find him before it's too late?
Short and Sweet Review
After solving her last case Pip has decided to do away with all the mystery and detective work. When Jamie Reynolds goes missing his brother asks Pip to investigate. Even though Pip is hesitant she takes on the case to help out the Reynolds family. The more Pip investigates she learns some of the towns dark secrets along with Jamies.
Pip is back! I love Pip and she starts off this book trying to avoid getting caught up in another mystery because of all of the danger she was put in when she was solving the Andie Bell case. We follow Pip as she follows clues and tries to piece together the clues to figure out where Jamie went. We see Ravi and I love him, he’s so supportive of Pip and is willing to help her out but also keep her centered. Connor was somewhat helpful but I think he shouldn’t have been as involved as he was, whenever Pip had someone to interview he just made them uncomfortable. Connor had good intentions but I think his worrying made it hard for him to take a step back and let Pip do her thing. Pip is still in a lot of danger, the culprit was creepy and willing to do things that put the other characters in danger. There was one scene involving a catfish that definitely sent chills down my spine and made me want to make sure I had all of my doors locked. I did appreciate seeing all of Pip’s case notes and the pictures and interviews she did, it just adds something special.
I loved this book! The culprit was a piece of work and needs a lot of help I was kind of sad about something that happened at the end, it was kind of bittersweet. I’m excited to see what the last book has in store!
