As Good As Dead is a phenomenal YA mystery that deserves to be one of the books of the year and provides a stellar finale to a knockout series. Not to mention how much she throws morals out the window despite being such a principled character for the entire rest of the series. Lol, this is definitely something I would do… well at least you aren’t planning to read the books haha.
This wasn't the case here and I continued reading only because it featured characters I grew to love and care for.I don’t read this genre much, and since I haven’t read the first two books I went ahead and read the spoilers. I get that she thought no one would believe her over some respectable white guy, that he might not even have been arrested. As always, Pip is completely focused on the task at hand, even to the detriment of some of her relationships.
The witty banter between our leading lady and Ravi sustains me in a way that few fictional couples can manage, and while I appreciate the darker turn that the end of book 2 made, I still feel like this one went in a direction that undermines the foundation of who these characters are in the first 2/3 of the series.

Indirectly or directly, the stalker or the serial killer is the reason for everything which started six years ago. I did like the way that this novel picked up characters and character threads introduced back in the first book: there was a clear cohesion between the three novels – cricky I do sound like a teacher there! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t entirely implausible (or maybe I’m just too naïve and clueless of how the world works and think too highly of humanity).I didn’t like him initially, I hated him when I found out he was a serial rapist and I despised him when his verdict was ‘not guilty’. Here, at the Bell house once more, because there was only one person who had the answers she needed.
given that her last few cases had a good motive for all the terrible things that each character did, it made pip very conflicted and i understood her. It would be better if she had support but she has lied to everyone and made them believe she is getting better when the opposite is true. Maybe it’s just the improbability of this town having so many killers in it… but it’s a thriller, I’ll stop.
Either way, I applaud the author for covering some difficult topics, and respect her decision to finish out this series in the way she envisioned it. Took me a while to get into in it nearly went on my DNF list but I'm glad I carried on just if the is the final one the ending isn't great it leave it open for another one. There's one point where you think the story could be over, but then a huge twists sends it spinning off in a whole new direction. But I must agree with a lot of people here - from halfway through, the story becomes utterly unrealistic; I genuinely thought that Pip hit her head or *SPOILER* is still in the trunk of the car, unconscious *END OF SPOILER*, when she comes up with that utterly wild, WILD idea - and then she'll wake up and we can get our storyline back. Pip couldn’t shake this uncanny feeling, that it wasn’t Hawkins sitting across from her, questioning her.
