As good as dead is an exceptionally well

written book. From the very first sentence

all the way to the very last page it keeps

you entertained. I loved how the ending of

the book was so subtle yet it gave you enough

information to let you know exactly what

happened. I loved the different perspectives

that we received from this book and it was a

very enjoyable read. The book takes us on a

journey through Pip’s 3rd year in a row

investigating a missing persons’ case but

This book kept me on my toes till the very end. I wouldn’t say it was predictable at all, and was overall very creative and interesting to keep up with Pip as she uncovers the truth of a murder accusation case. It was intriguing to see the way she worked through the case, with limited resources and being a teenager investigating such a taboo topic in her town, along with the mental toll it took on her. This is overall fast paced and also has a slight romance. I feel like the book could have been a little shorter, however, the writing is still very interesting.
