Product Information

Then we mercifully get into the core mystery of this book, but that's wrapped up pretty quickly by the end of Part I. Only when Pip exposed the truth did they learn Sal’s death wasn’t a suicide, it was the tragic result of someone ELSE framing him. Then about halfway point, it pulled the rug under my feet by handing me the twist (Pip deliberately commits a murder) of a lifetime . But it was still not the ending I was expecting and not the conclusion for my highly appraised series! Pip has changed understandable considering what she has been thought but I feel she made decisions that pip won't in the first two books.

We don't get to see MJW all out kick-butt the entire time, but he still delivered on the action and thrills either with fists, kicks or guns. In books 1 and 2, we follow Pip as she investigates, talks to suspects, gathers clues, and makes deductions. I did like the way that this novel picked up characters and character threads introduced back in the first book: there was a clear cohesion between the three novels – cricky I do sound like a teacher there! and she also “ruined” every single happy moment she had with her friends by thinking about the ending of the second book. I don’t know about you, but I would rather have that police chief think I’m paranoid than try to sleep at night knowing a killer is watching my house.Yup, it’s really too bad that that was the ending to the series, which in all other respects was SO good! I had a hard time starting it : not being in the mood and the intro being a bit long but omg it was tensed! It also didn’t sit well with me the fact that Pip *roped* her friends into helping her get away with it, and they turned that narrative into them “taking justice into their own hands. The seventeen-year-old who thought the truth was the only thing that mattered, no matter the context, no mind to that suffocating grey area. Now Pip’s ensnared in this web of lies she created for herself and of course now if one strand breaks she’ll be convicted of something way worse than self-defense.

understandable because we’ve also seen her slowly becoming more and more violent/unstable with the graffiti on Max’s house in the second book, her violent fantasies about him, etc. This is very stressfull and i was stressed about Pip 24/7 and screaming a lot during my read and panicking.This wasn't the case here and I continued reading only because it featured characters I grew to love and care for. No, not a lead, a lifeline: some strange unknowable force connecting them across time, though they’d never met. How is it that after committing rape and a number of murders the DT Killer was easily deveated by AN 18 YEAR OLD? in the beginning, i found it to be childish how he started a fight with max given that he was a grown ass adult and max was still growing. And when Pip’s whole family was woken up by the metal coming through her speakers… she should have told them what happened.

Things I also don’t understand is how there were no traces of Ravi left at the crime scene and how Hawkins believed his headphones story, or why he even used it in the first place! I read and adored the first two books in this series but I put off reading the final one since I didn’t want to say goodbye to Pip and Ravi just yet but I am finally cracking it open. So, Pip and Ravi realize that yes, someone is stalking her and they have been right outside her house.Part of me wanted to shout at Pip for her logic and some of the decisions she made…but I could also see her point of view and how she came to the conclusions she did. Overall i loved this book so much and it was an amazing final to this triology that will always be one of my fav murder mystery series. Yeah, Pip thinks the police won’t believe her because she’s seemingly unstable, but Ravi can corroborate. As much as I’m appreciative of the knowledge being imparted (cause I’m sure I’ll put it to good use in the future *cue me being sarcastic*), I DID NOT WANT THIS FOR PIP.

There is no real end point, no chance of true resolution and the novel loses its sense of direction. It's more dark and ominous, capturing Pippa and the emotional toll the past two investigations have had on her. If you love the characters, the ‘whodunnit’ style and overall the first two AGGGTM novels, I must ask that you NEVER DARE pick up or even go remotely near a copy of this book.However, Pip learns that Maria Karras contacted her through the podcast back in April asking for her help in proving Billy’s innocence so she is more than willing to provide Pip with whatever she wants. It's about a guy confessing to crimes he didn't commit, because he was coerced into false confession by the police.
