Read the first novel first. The case Pip solved there is the one this season builds on.
Book vs series
- The series removes Jamie's father entirely; the book shows him doubtful about the search at first.
- The show keeps Layla Mead's catfishing subplot but shortens it and trims some red-herring exchanges.
- A bracelet once owned by Charlie Green's wife, Flora, replaces the stolen wristwatch from the book.
Show the big differences (spoilers)
