Pip recorded her experience with the Andie Bell case and published it as a true-crime podcast. Fans are calling for a second season, but Pip doesn’t want to go through that again – to be that obsessive person again. But then Connor’s brother, Jamie, goes missing, and he begs Pip to take up the case. Welcome to season two.
As Pip resists attaching herself to the case and then gives in to the obsession that took over last year, this book gets darker than the first. Pip struggles to define truth, justice, and morals for herself as she finds herself diving back into unsavory secrets around town – and unsavory parts of herself. I don’t agree with all of Pip’s conclusions, which makes me more excited to read the next book and see how Jackson resolves the issues – if they are resolved. This new mystery for Pip fights against time and is just as engaging as her first case.
Pip, her mom, Connor, and Connor's family are white. Pip's stepfather, Victor, is Nigerian, and Pip's half-brother is half Nigerian. Ravi and his family are Indian. The mature content rating is for underage drinking, mentions of drug use, illegal activity, and discussions of sexual assault and rape. The violence rating is for mentions of suicide, gun use, murder, and discussions of death.
