Plot Overview
The action of the story takes place in a small, invented town called Little Kilton. The main character is a high school student named Pippa Fitz-Amobi, who gets the idea to investigate a local murder for her senior project. Five years ago, schoolgirl Andie Bell was killed, and her boyfriend, Sal Singh, was identified as her killer. After the suicide, everyone in the town presumed that he was guilty. The case was closed, and even though it was shut for Pippa, she knew that there was more to dig.
Pippa discovers secrets hidden and lies buried while ripping open the case. She interviews Andie's friends and family and analyzes evidence while connecting clues that police failed to see. Going further, Pippa challenges the whole town with Ravi Singh (Sal's younger brother) against the presumptions about Sal's innocence.

There are so many twists in the novel, leading to one shocking revelation that changes it all.
