While I don't think the mystery of this book is as good as the one in the first book, I do think that the way that it builds on the story improves the first book. 

The characterization and exploration of characters from book 1 is brilliant, showing us a different side to characters we only really saw before in the context of the Andie investigation. It makes them more real, three dimensional and nuanced. The same happens to pip; negative aspects of her character are amplified and shown in a new light. The ending is also devastating. If you've read the first book, you have to read this one too.

♡ Missing Person

♡ True-Crime Podcast

♡ Amateur Detective Work

Again, much like the last book I loved the extra details in the formatting.  The little details like that are really lovely.

This book started out a bit cliché, I mean asking a teenager to help find your missing (possibly dead) brother seems totally full proof.  However, I did get invested after a while and the plot really went in a different direction than I was expecting.  The “who did it” was a bit random but it was entertaining to read about the journey.  

Pip having a true-crime podcast totally fits her vibe.  If she doesn’t become a detective after this I’m going to scream because she’s doing the whole police departments job at this point.
