The Fourth Friend

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others.

Another good book in the series!

Not my favorite of the series so far. It was fine, but I was meh about the ending.

Enjoyed the storyline but the writing was pretty cliched

the most confusing first chapter ever. but i think it’s a very cool and interesting concept of fulfilling the dead friends wishes. the ending also confused me

What a great read. It was tense at times and even though I guessed who was the culprit, the story wasn't spoilt. Characters were great and very likeable

4.5 stars, I loved this book! This was by far my favorite and I think people are crazy for not liking this one the most. I personally like books that closely relate to a main character, which this one did well the first two were just cases the police were solving, whereas this one actually dealt with one of their own personal issues. I really enjoyed it, it was excellently written, and the premise of seeing his dead friends (not a spoiler, this is let on in the epilogue) was very different and interesting. Great read worth sticking through the series for.
