As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson (Paperback)

Pip Fitz-Amobi thought she was ready to move on—she’s preparing to head off to Cambridge University. But her past won’t let her go. Someone is stalking her, leaving online threats, and asking chilling questions: Who will look for you when you’re the one who disappears? It’s not just messages — this stalker seems to know where she lives.

As the police refuse to take her seriously, Pip digs deeper. She uncovers connections between her stalker and a local serial killer who’s been locked up for six years. Yet she can’t shake the nagging suspicion: what if they put the wrong man behind bars?

As the danger escalates, the game changes — and this time, Pip isn’t just the investigator. She’s becoming the target. All the threads from her earlier cases begin to weave together, and she realises that in Little Kilton, nothing ever truly ended.

If she doesn’t find the answers, Pip knows she might be the one to vanish next. The threat is real, and this time there may be no one left to save her.
