Pippa has gone to hell and back to solve this Andie Bell case.
We begin in Mr.
Wards attic, where Pip is now trapped with Isla.
Isla has been stuck in Mr. Perhaps Mr. Ward could use a pair of new eyeglasses.
Mr. Ward could also use some prison time.
Ravi has already sent the police to Mr.
Wards secret hideaway, so Isla and Pip walk away unscathed.
But I must ask: Why did everyone care so much about Andie disappearing and not Isla?
They went missing around the same time.
Two leggy blondes, gone into the night.
If I were a detective, Id connect these two together.
Pip uncaps her marker for one final, brilliant note.
Work your magic, girl.
SO, she scrawls out on her crime scene map.
Imagine how tired they are.
All signs point to Andies dad Jason (Matthew Chambers), Pip thinks.
Every source Pip has encountered has recalled how terrible Jason was to his daughters.
Shave this seven minute fake-out stretch off, and Id be riveted the entire way through.
They know each other but I hardly recognize this Jesse person.
Here I was, thinking Isla was the most random character of all time.
Nope: That title actually belongs to Jesse.
If Jesse is Beccas true bestie, why are they spilling all of Beccassuper personal informationto Pippa?
But Becca was roofied and raped and hasnt been the same since then.
Broken down in simple terms, for you: Max raped Becca.
Becca retaliated, leading to Andiesrealdeath.
This also handles important topics sexual harassment and assault in high school with grace.
Pippa has lost the trusty Watson to her Sherlock.
Right before Pip finishes the puzzle, Ravi boards a one-way bus to get out of dodge.
But this love story has always predictable subplot in a sea of unpredictable mystery twists, our grounding force.
These two belong together.
In fact, having Ravi leave at themost important momentonly elevates the stakes.
When hes just a few minutes out of town, he says the most romantic thing ever: STOP!
Even better: He reunites with Cara, who has Pips location.
Pip confronts Becca, who almost immediately confesses to the murder.
Becca then invites Pip to go see where Andie is buried.
Um … no thanks?
Thats just the Rohypnol she slipped into Pippas tea.
Remember howcool the calamity was?
Her EPQ is complete.
Ravi and Pip, together forever.
Hormones lead you to the oddest places in this case, to solving a murder.
Our modern Jane Eyre has come of age, now a full Sherlock Holmes.
Ring a Bell?
Will there be a Season 2?
There are two more books in Holly Jacksons series.
If I was a betting woman, Id place money on a plot revolving around Max Hastings.
