Book summary: This book is about seventeen-year-old Pip, a senior in high school. Five years ago in Fairview, the small town Pip lives in, there was a murder. Andie Bell, the popular, pretty girl, was dead. Just a few days after, her boyfriend’s body is found lifeless in the woods. Police investigate the case, and proclaim that Sal Singh murdered Andie Bell, and had killed himself afterwards. But because Sal is dead, no one knows for sure. Five years later, and still everyone thinks of Andie’s boyfriend as a monster. Until Pip comes along and decides to investigate further into the case for her capstone project. Little did she know how much of the alleged “murder” had been kept a secret for all those years.
Book review: I like this book so much because it’s fast-paced and straight to the point. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder has endless plot twists, all of which you never would have imagined. Just when you think you’ve got everything figured out, the author hurls another suspect, clue, or piece of evidence at you and suddenly everything changes. It’s such a fun read and so thrilling that you won’t be able to put it down.
Great review and I agree, such a fun mystery! I loved all the investigative interviews and journal entries and I was completely shocked (and saddened) by the ending. It reminded me a bit of Sadie by Courtney Summers which I listened to, such an amazing audio-book!
The ending was so good, although definitely unexpected. That’s one of the many reasons I absolutely love this book, it’s not predictable at all and the plot is so well-thought. By the way,Holly Jackson’s sequel to this book, Good Girl, Bad Blood, was quite the thrilling read as well. If I had to pick one though, I think the first book is a must-read!
