This book was well-thought out! The twists and turns will keep you guessing up until the last chapter. Can‘t wait to read the next books in the series.

4.5 stars. This was amazing! I loved it. I absolutely thought I knew what happened, I did not!
LOVED this book! Can't wait to read #2!
This was a pretty good read! I loved the main characters and the plot line. It felt like it went so quick too! Now onto the second book. #murdermystery #crimebooks #agoodgirlsguidetomurder
"A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" by Holly Jackson. 9,8/10 rating. I found this book fascinating and really gripping. I almost literally couldn't put it down. The story seems to go one way... then another... and then abruptely changes again with one hell of a plot-twist. Amazing. Recommended for 15 year-olds and older
5 years ago a girl vanished from her small hometown and her boyfriend seemingly committed suicide and was thereafter blamed for the girls presumed death. Pippa doesn't believe the BF did it and sets out to find the truth with some help from his brother. Pip reminded me a bit of Nancy Drew: smart, focused, courageous, determined. My sign that I'm a bit old for this book ⬇️
Got the box set for Christmas so excited to read it! Supposedly, it‘s a YA mystery with a little bit of romance
Technically a #reread, but I remembered next to none of the details and was awed all over again at how tight and eerie this mystery is. We love to see a smart girl win! #yalit #yamystery
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ such a awesome book! She describes the characters so beautifully and you never suspected who committed the crime. Overall wonderful book!
Don‘t think for a minute that because this story is centered around a high schooler that you won‘t get an absolute gripping mystery. My jaw DROPPED!
Picked this up in advance of a 10-hour flight. It was a fantastic light read, while still telling a very engrossing story, and was well written. The ending felt a little bit like an after school special (not a spoiler; just my opinion), but that didn't ruin the experience for me at all. #booktenof2023
Quick read, but probably won't stay with me. My #doublespin this month @TheAromaofBooks #scarathlon @LiseWorks #spookoween @TheSpineView #outstandingoctober @Andrew65 #onemorechapter @Clwojick
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very fun mystery. I liked the mc a lot, even when she was making dumb decisions.

I was just sitting reading my book, and my Henry (8) comes over, looks at my book then at me, and asks "are you going to murder someone?" Apparently he thought it was a how-to book. ?
It's a gorgeous day here in Virginia, so I'm going to get a little book time in while Henry takes the car for a spin.
Sitting in the ortho office trying to concentrate on my book while hoping the doc tells me I don't actually need surgery for my rotator cuff. 🤞 I'm not optimistic, so I'm finding it hard to focus on the story, good as it is so far.
My daughter told me to read this and I‘m so glad I did! Pip chooses a local murder case for her final school project and begins to uncover lies and secrets. Everyone becomes a suspect. Is the killer still out there? Will the truth ever be known?
Brilliant storytelling, the writing had my full attention and had great characterisation, especially Pip.
For a YA book, it was gripping and I was hooked from the first chapter. Onto the second book now!
My daughter has just finished the trilogy and said ‘Mum, it‘s your turn now‘. She also said it‘s being made into a Netflix series. Let‘s hope the book is good.
Late to the party but glad I finally read this! A definite page turner and I‘m interested in reading the next book in the series.

I forgot about this book. I listened to it for my school bookclub. Not something I would ever pick up but it was better than I thought. Kept me interested and guessing.
I really enjoyed this young adult book. While not as suspenseful as others in this genre (as it was written for teens) I found it really well written. I will be reading more in the series
Book 2 done

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder is full of great mic drops 🎤 and brilliant banter between friends 🗣 but I want to lodge an official complaint about the DEVASTATING dog death in the latter half of the book 😭 It was needlessly cruel, and it had me chasing my around the house demanding snuggles. Aside from that, it was pretty good. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-holly-jackson/
Oh wow, really liked this mystery!! YA but definitely worthy at any age classification!! Pip does a capstone project for her senior year project which focuses on two murders from five years prior. Intricate and interesting. 4⭐️
4 ⭐This book is getting made into a UK TV show and I completely understand why. It is told in a pretty unique way. You know that the main character is doing her senior project to graduate high school. And she decides that she is going to solve the murder. Technically, the town thinks they already know who the murderer is, and unfortunately that young man is dead. However, our main character is sure he didn‘t do it because he‘s not that type of guy
Oh my god. I‘d heard a lot of good things about this book and it was on my TBR for a while so I had high expectations and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I loved the characters and think that this book is simply perfect. From characters to plot and pace: PERFECT. Bottom line is I loved this (clearly) and so did those I ranted to about Every. Single. Thing.
Seriously go read this book.
5⭐️.
“I‘m ravishing.” He grinned. “Get it? Ravi-shing. Ravi Singh.”
”You being the rain down on them, Pip.”
“I will.”
He smiled, put his hands on the back of her neck, fingers in her hair, and leaned in to press his forehead against hers. He‘d told her before that he did it to take away half her sadness, half her headache, half her nerves before her Columbia interview. Because half less of a bad thing meant there was room for half good.
“It‘s not environmentally friendly,” Ravi said, “but I‘ve always wanted to make a murder board.”
“Me too.”
“Come on, then,” she said. “We have a double homicide to solve.”
“They murdered my dog,” she said.
“They murdered my brother. And what are we going to do about it?”
“Ravi?” Pip said.
“Hello, trouble,” he said softly. “Can I talk to you?”
“You‘re not just anything. You‘re Pippa fricking Fitz-Amobi.” He smiled, and it was the saddest thing she‘d ever seen. “And I don‘t think there‘s anyone in this world quite like you.”
“Real men wear florals when trespassing,” Ravi said.
“I‘ll probably regret this, but”—he paused, flashing her a small smile—“we‘re partners in crime after all.”
“You know, I‘ve never said this to a girl before but…I‘m glad you came knocking on my door out of the blue to interrogate me.”
“What‘s the word count on this project, Pip?”
“Not enough, Ravi. Not nearly enough.”
“Milk emergency.” He held up a half gallon of 2 percent.
“Well, if only you had your coffee black.”
“I‘ll never cross to the dark side.”
“I made muffins.”
“Like bribery muffins?”
“That‘s what the recipe said, yeah.”
The people you love weren‘t calculated, subtracted, or held at arm‘s length across a decimal point.
Aaawh shoot I loved this! Now I have to go and buy two more books to finish this serie 🙈🤩
