Maybe it’s just the improbability of this town having so many killers in it… but it’s a thriller, I’ll stop. I read the first book a while back, so there might have been something planted, but in the third book there wasn’t. But I just don’t buy Jason Bell being the killer… yes it was supposed to be a plot twist, but really there was no indication before that Jason was off. It very much felt shoe-horned in, and the second they read the Andie Bell email I knew it was him and Pip thinking it was Dan da Silva was just dumb. They know Pip has solved two major mysteries before! They probably somewhat trust her judgement! I can’t imagine they would just brush it off if she presented that article in which it mentioned that the DT Killer had been leaving dead birds and chalk figures for one of his previous victims!Īnd then the whole Jason Bell thing. I don’t know about you, but I would rather have that police chief think I’m paranoid than try to sleep at night knowing a killer is watching my house. Not to mention when Pip and Ravi realize that the stalker is probably the DT Killer (don’t ask me why this town has so many serial killers just hanging out in there) who left the same sorts of messages and prank calls for his previous victims.
And when Pip’s whole family was woken up by the metal coming through her speakers… she should have told them what happened. Yet they decide not to update the police with this information, despite having proof? Yeah, Pip thinks the police won’t believe her because she’s seemingly unstable, but Ravi can corroborate. They’ve printed through her printer because they’re so close. They’ve connected to her Bluetooth speakers because they’re so close. So, Pip and Ravi realize that yes, someone is stalking her and they have been right outside her house. Here’s where my spoiler review is going to start.
She and Ravi continue to investigate, and Pip makes her first mistake. She goes to the police and they don’t believe her, because this is a YA thriller. Someone’s been leaving dead birds and headless chalk figures on her driveway, and messages on Twitter and in her email: “Who will look for you when you’re the one who disappears?” To make matters worse, she’s being stalked. She’s still reeling from Stanley’s death at the end of the second book, she isn’t sleeping and she’s secretly buying sleeping pills from what’s-his-name Luke the drug dealer from the other two books. So, AGAD starts off with Pip in not a very good place.
