A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series #1
(2019) 433 pages

I had wanted to read A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder after seeing a TV show adaptation about it being announced, and I finally did. I found the book to the quite exhilarating, since it does deal with topics such as murder. But the fact that a high schooler doing such things with people just complying is a little unrealistic to me. However, it is a good book with a romance storyline woven into it that makes it all the better. Pip, the main character, is also someone who has the perfect personality to be the successful teen detective she is. She is fearless and determined, always pursuing the truth. Overall everyone in this book had their personalities thoroughly developed throughout the story and through the dialogues that were featured, which made everything even more interesting. I also found the fact that the story featured a lot of red herrings, since it allows for the reader to be shocked in the end and continue to be engaged throughout the whole novel. Anyone who enjoyed mystery fiction and drama would surely love this book, since it is quite scary at times due to the investigation. This book is quite thought-provoking, and it is really interesting with many plot twists to continue to engage the reader’s mind.
