Point of View

The novel is told in third-person past by a narrator that sticks close to Pip, the protagonist. The narrator’s psychic distance to Pip is extremely close, and there are never any emotions that Pip has that the narrator does not share with the reader. Just like the other two novels in the series, this story starts out with Pip attempting to investigate a crime. In this case, she wants to look into a random case involving a Jane Doe so that she can do a third and final version of her podcast in order to erase the ambiguity lingering after her previous case, in which she was deeply disturbed by the fact that she empathized by both Stanley, her friend who was shot, and Charlie, her friend who shot Stanley.

By solving a crime with a clearly evil villain, Pip hopes to erase ambiguity...
