REVIEW
In fact, I'm writing this post in my notes before you're reading it because this book was THAT good. I don't want to forget the heart pounding, toe curling feeling I'm having, I want it to be stamped in time. Always visceral in my memory. As I've said before, this book remained unopened for MONTHS. No fault of the book, I just developed a bad habit of purchasing books and leaving them until I had the time to read (spoiler alert, I never did have the time). Anyway, can I just say, the suspense. The tension. How soon we jump right into the story was so delicious! I didn't ravage this book and finished in one day or two. No, it took me closer to a week to read it. I was trying to solve a murder after all and that's not done overnight. I actually felt so distressed at the injustice surrounding Sal's accusation and eventual death. It made me want to continue, to see those who vilified him after all that time eat their words, and though it didn't play out like that, it was a little reprieve. Though I'm still saddened. The writing was spectacular. And Pip's diary entries wrapped me so much into the story, it was like watching a movie. I only hated the stereotypical throw caution to the wind that the character always managed to do. Find someone pedaling drugs? Go to their home at night and confront them with the evidence. Gets threats? Walks her dog in the middle of the night. A little far fetched and unreasonable in my head. Especially when she went around accusing people who could very well be evil not once or twice but more times than I could count. Pip's self preservation skills left a lot to be desired. The reveal had me slapping my hand over my mouth in disbelief. What worked for this book is that there were so many suspects, someone may have fallen through the cracks. And a mystery fiend like me, I LOVED being stumped. It was sooo good. Especially when the mystery kept on giving. And reveal after reveal. Bits and pieces came together. And as mentioned at the end of the book, and what I noticed. There were still gaps. Other factors are at play. And we may never understand fully. But what if we can? This one has broken my rating scale and I will love everything about it for a long time!
