Review of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

The book starts off some time after the first ended. We see the aftermath of the first case as it goes to court and while everything in court is happening, Jamie goes missing and Pip becomes a detective for the second time. I loved how this book wasn’t a copy of the first with a similar plot or case to solve. It fitted perfectly with what happened and I loved it just as much as the first book! The way these books are written are just addicting, I had such a hard time putting this book down! At the same time, I liked getting the information on the first case and seeing how that one continues.

The book follows the same pattern of storytelling, with interviews, podcasts, mails and text messages as a medium to tell this story next to the written chapters. It is such an engaging way to write a story, because you really feel as if you work alongside Pip to solve the mystery. You won’t know what happened or who did it until the moment Pip herself figures it out.

Pip is still a very relatable character who is funny, smart and brave. She really grows in this book due to her doubt about becoming obsessed with another mystery and if she’s becoming a monster herself. Giving herself the answers to these questions and growing more character wise was awesome to read. Ravi isn’t as present in this book as in the first, but still just a sweetheart helping Pip where he can. We see more of Connor, as it is his brother that has gone missing. The way you get a bit of a different dynamic because Connor is mostly helping Pip really sets this book apart from the first. It is fresh in that way and more enjoyable to read.

Overall, it is a clever mystery solving book with likeable characters and a plot that keeps you guessing as to what really happened.
