The cat puns 30 pages in gave me the ick

Been sitting on this review for a few days and I can conclusively say; this was my favourite book of the entire series! The twist halfway through got me so good and honestly Pip did what needed be done, slay girl

Honestly, the police in this town are USELESS and couldn't solve a puzzle let alone a crime.

Ultimately, I felt like Connor was too close to the incident to be an impartial detective, resulting in his presence just annoying me. He was consistently interfering with Pip's investigation and expected everyone to go above and beyond just because it was his brother that was missing. I also didn't find this case nearly as interesting as it was a missing person case rather than a murder case. The twist at the end though really got me and resulted in the book going from a 3 ⭐️ to a 4 ⭐️ read. I feel like the follow up book needed to be a longer period after the previous case (maybe when Pip was finished with university and this turns into her career). I did enjoy the aspect of her posting updates to her followers whilst she was solving the case and viewers could input their ideas and suggestions that Pip then followed up on. Overall, it was a pretty enjoyable read with a good twist at the end regardless of how left of field the twist was (honestly it felt like I was reading another book when everything unfolded) and I would recommend this to anyone that enjoyed the first novel.

If Belly doesn't end up with Jeremiah I'm going to be pissed! Also I'm begging for a single POV in book three, the introduction of Jeremiah's POV in this book was awful. The man barely strings 5 words into each sentence, it's like being in the mind of a toddler just learning to speak.

Okay, I'm sorry Miss Rebecca that I ever doubted you! The fact that you have made me hate, tolerate, like, love and then absolutely despise a a primary character in this series shows how incredibly well written these books are. Unfortunately, from pages 200-400 I felt a real lull in the pacing and not a whole lot of things were happening; however, now finishing the book I understand why these scenes were important for the conclusion of this book. I have taken off a star though because I do feel like the middle of the book could have been more condensed to reduce the overall length of the book or even if more storyline peaks were included to juxtapose the troughs of important information. Overall, that ending had me gagged and I'm jumping straight into the third and final book.
