Not as good as the first 2!

I had seen that this book wasn’t getting as many good reviews as the first 2, but of course I had to listen anyway to see how it all ended. I’m really not sure on Pips character arc here and it was the first time I found her very annoying! Overall I’m happy with the way it ended for the characters, although I would have liked just a little more at the very end, just one chapter or something. As a series I thought this was excellent and will always recommend it, but this was the weaker book.

A must read series of books!

Probably, one of the best series of books I have read in a long time. Loved the format it was presented in.

Downhill from the last 2 books

The book got very repetitive and narrator sometimes a bit screechy. From the first book to the last, the story though interesting went downhill with how it played out.

AMAZING end to the trilogy

I loved listening to this! I found it slightly hard to engage with it at first but once I got into it I couldn't stop listening! I would definitely recommend this audiobook but I suggest that if you haven't read/listened to the other two books in the trilogy (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Good Girl Bad Blood - both of which are incredible) then you should read/listen to those first. Stunning narration and excellent engaging plot. Would recommend for young adult readers and those who enjoy mysteries and murder.

Declining from Good

Started out good. Intriguing and interesting, but somewhere along the way, the story becomes extremely predictable, and all you can think is "really? You think this'll work? Really?" Ending felt so cheap. The writing is as amazing as the first two books, but the execution and story was a complete mess.

The voice actors were as amazing as the first two books, though! Still love the sound details.

You might be disappointed

I really enjoyed the first two books in this series so was really looking forward to reading the final instalment. It just wasn’t as good and I ended up not liking Pip very much! Narration was fantastic tho!

Fan of the series

I love this series! However, this book was a bit disappointing… I guessed a big twist pretty early on which made it frustrating for Pip to not see the obvious but Pip just seemed to act a bit out of character. Definitely recommend- just not a fan of the conclusion.

Excellent story line

Fabulous audio book - loved the series. It’s slightly more creepy than I expected but still loved it.

Poor Ending!! Storyline not as good as books 1 & 2

Really disappointed in the ending. I love both the first books and couldn’t wait for this one as well. It took a while to get really into this one and when I finally did, the main part seemed to be over far too early in the story. I then became a bit bored for the few hours of listening but was determined to finish and convinced it would be just as great an outcome as the first two books. Sadly it wasn’t. The narrators were still fab the whole way though.
