i recently finished reading Heartless which is the seventh book in the Pretty Little Liars series. i think that this critical thinking question is a really good one for this book because a lot of different things have happened and everyone has a different opinion about if justice was really served in this text.
even though Billy Ford was arrested and charged with Alison's and Jenna's murder, i still do not think that justice was served in the text. the reason that i think this is because throughout the book the girls were harassed by a person named A (aka Mona and Billy) and A basically ruined there lives. A told their deepest secrets and made them admit their secrets, and this has affected their lives forever. there is no way that they can changed what has happened. Spencer's whole family got torn apart and nobody in her family even acknowledges her anymore. Aria's family also got torn apart and she is forced to live with her dad and his student soon-to-be wife and mother who he had an affair with. Hanna has to live with her dad his wife-to-be and mean step-daighter who has tried to ruin her life and has turned her dad against her.
what i think has to happen for justice to be served is that things would have to somehow go back in time to the beginning of the year when Alison's body is found and somehow find out that it was Bully Ford. if this would have happened then there would have been no A and no harassing and each girl would still have their perfect and fun lives. they wouldn't have to go through all the torture they went through: getting made fun of by the press, rejected from family, seeing a lot of people die.
i think that A is the person that blocks justice because, A would always send the girl notes giving them false clues about the killer and the girls would go and tell the police. so then it would steer them even more of track from finding the real killer, which made them get harassed even more. if there was no A then the police would have found out the killer a while back and things would go on. they wouldn't have to see innocent people die like Jenna, Toby, and Ian.
