Book Review: A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

I’ll start out with the good news about Holly Jackson's A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder—the second book in the series is being published at the end of April, so it’s perfect timing for this review! If amateur detective mysteries are your thing, and you like young adult books, I’d highly recommend this one.

Pippa is a high school senior and has found a way to make solving a cold case murder into her final senior project, which makes her my hero. Why didn’t I think of that?!? But all joking aside, Pippa learns that she is on the right investigative track when she starts receiving threats to telling her to stop investigating. Pippa does not stop, and even teams up with the alleged killer’s brother, Ravi. The characters in the story are relatable and you’ll enjoy following the trail of the killer along with Pippa.
