Pip is determined to fix the fallout - and stay away from any more investigations. But as Max Hastings' trial approaches, Connor's brother Jamie suddenly disappears and Pip finds herself in a race against time to find him." They added: "This new mystery will take Pip to unexpected places as she struggles with the idea of justice, straying even further from the 'good girl' she once was."

The show continues to captivate audiences, with glowing reviews still coming in. A fan exclaimed: "FIVE STARS! ! ! As someone who has read the entire trilogy and fell in love with its well-rounded characters, cozy setting, and carefully crafted plot so fast, it's safe to say that my expectations for the show were quite high." Another viewer praised: "An absolutely stunning story that follows the book perfectly, the acting cast was perfect and on the dot. Absolute masterpiece!"
