Critic reviews

'Twisty, compulsive and so, so, clever', Savannah Brown, author of The Truth About Keeping Secrets

'This book was a delight from start to finish. I laughed. I cried. And I very much enjoyed attempting to solve the case with Pip (who I now want to be my best friend). I didn't guess the twist, and I don't think many people will. Holly Jackson has absolutely killed it with her debut!', Aisha Bushby, author of A Pocketful of Stars and contributor to the award-winning A Change is Gonna Come

'That ending! Pure genius', Yasmin Rahman, author of All the Things We Never Said

'In a League of its Own', Lucy Powrie, author of The Paper & Hearts Society

'A Twisty, compelling UK YA debut', Fiona Noble, The Bookseller

perfect adaptation of the text

I'm not sure I loved the narrator, she was sometimes a little too enthusiastic and made Pip sound a bit too childish, but what's undeniable is that the execution of the mixed media format was perfect. The sound effects, the different voices for the interviews with different people... I loved it! If you're planning to read this book I strongly recommend getting the audio version as well as the physical one, because it makes for a very immersive experience.

A Captivating Thriller....10 Stars if possible!!!

The author expertly weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue that keeps you guessing until the very end.

The plot centers around a true-crime podcast and the protagonist’s quest to uncover the truth behind a notorious murder that shook her small town. The pacing was impeccable, with each reveal more shocking than the last, making it impossible to put down. I was constantly on the edge of my seat, trying to piece together the clues along with the characters.

Additionally, the narrators did an exceptional job bringing the story to life. Their ability to convey the characters' emotions and the tension of the narrative added an extra layer of depth that made the audiobook experience incredibly enjoyable.
