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

that we received from this book and it was a

journey through Pip’s 3rd year in a row
investigating a missing persons’ case but
everything changes when the person missing is
