A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
A fantastic book all around, revolving around the main character Pippa Fitz-Amobi, who decides to look into the 5 year old murder of Andie Bell, occurring right in her small town of Little Kilton for her final capstone project. In everyone else’s eyes, the case has already been solved and Sal Singh is the undeniable murderer who killed Andie before taking his own life, despite the fact that Andie’s body was never actually recovered. But for Pip, things aren’t adding up. As she digs deep in order to find out the truth behind this case, she uncovers some facts that may spare Sal, and some that point towards Andie not being the perfect girl everyone else thought she was. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is amazing, and definitely one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It has all of the suspenseful scenes and plot twists you would expect from a murder mystery, the pacing is brilliant, and the plot is just incredible. The parts written as journal entries were also very fun to read, and not something you’d normally find in a mystery novel. While, yes, it’s unlikely that a teacher would have actually approved her project idea as a valid one, and she executes several other stunts that a girl her age would have probably not been able to do, this did not detract from my enjoyment of the story at all. This novel is almost perfect in my eyes, and I was hooked from start to finish.
