I feel like this series went a bit downhill for me. I loved the first book so much that it was hard to enjoy this last one. 

As Good As Dead had too much of Pip being paranoid and raging for me. I didn't enjoy the second half or how Pip acted through it. I also didn't love that the core mystery was revealed so early on. 
I loved the first book so much because I loved seeing Pip investigating the crime, doing her podcast, and talking to witnesses. The Pip from As Good As Dead was not the Pip I cherished from A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Good Girl, Bad Blood.
