A Good Girl'S Guide To Murder

I am completely blown away. This novel is an absolute thriller from start to finish, weaving a narrative so gripping that I couldn’t put it down. From the very first page, I was hooked, captivated by the intricate plot and the relentless suspense that kept me eagerly turning pages.The depth of the mystery and the cleverness of the clues had me on the edge of my seat, but it was the astonishing plot twist at the end that left me utterly speechless. It’s a twist so unexpected and brilliantly executed that it completely redefined my experience of the story.Holly Jackson has crafted a masterpiece in the thriller genre—a book that is not just thrilling but also profoundly engaging, with well-developed characters and a storyline that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page. It’s no wonder this book has garnered so much hype; it truly deserves every bit of acclaim.

I was sceptical about this book as it was "tik tok famous" Book.But I must say I was surprised by the read.Most important of all things was the ending. It was truly heartwarming and it was just the right thing.Really in love with pip, the way she thinks. There is something so humane about her. She feels so real all kuddos to the writing for making it that way.I must say no stones were left unturned by the end.The book made me smile about how there are good and bad people and how many of us are prisoners of situation. Making a decision in the heat of the moment when the evil in us peeks out.There was a small mention of even how people assumed things based on someone's race. Glad they didn't make a big deal out of it and still mentioned. Sometimes (in numerous other books) when they start on about how people of color are treated the story does in another direction. I personally am not a big fan of things like that.And must mention how pip had good friends.In most books people like pip who can be called nerdy are lonewolves and mostly distant from their families with an exception of few.Loved each and every character in the book.It was a wholesome read. Worth it.Kind of guessed names at some point but kept reading for motive.

Awesome book . It's so interesting , that once u start reading it's impossible to stop. You emerge your life into that story , relate and even start thinking about who could be the killer . But the reason I deducted one star is the cover , nobody will buy their kids books with that cover even though the book is really interesting

The quality of the book was amazing. The twists and the turns in the story were great too

You should definitely try this book

The pages were of really good quality

Great. I received the book as i expected.

Nice

Wonderful book!

This book, I loved it! It was intense and everything you want in a Mystery novel, with developments in the plots in all the right places to keep readers enthralled with the story line.The book is set in a small English Town, I loved that this book is set in England. The description of the towns perception on the accused murderer is what you would expect from a rural town and the impact on the accused murderer’s family is very realistic, seeing them ostracised as they are is how I’d imagine it would be in real life. I left like this little town could be placed in any part of the UK and this story still make sense which I really like, as it isn’t restrictive to a certain area.I love Pippa, I’m not as smart as her but the nerdy parts of her I could totally connect with. I loved how tenacious she is and that she wasn’t put off by picking such a tough and sensitive topic for her project. As you get through the book you really can’t help but route for her and at parts feel for her. I admire her greatly and as soon as I finished this book I pre-ordered the second book so that I could spend more time with Pip and her adventures. My heart bled for Ravi, being treated like dirt on peoples shoe for what they think his brother but still having such a lovely disposition. There’s a lesson to be learned in this book on how we treat people and human decency. Ravi’s sense of humour really bounced of Pip’s more serious nature and created an enticing rapport between them, seeing them both learn to trust each other than become friends. Beautiful work.I give major kudos to Holly for not have a romantic sub-plot within the book, I feel that would have detracted from the over story arc. Saying that, I did route for Pip and Ravi as they started to drawer closer so I’m super excited to see what happened with them in the second book. If they’re together, I’ll be super interested how Holly balances their relationship with the new plot.There are two narrative styles in this book, one based on Pip’s project logbook and the other following Pip’s investigation in real-time. I found this balance worked really well and supported the progression of the plot. The real time sections takes the reader on the discovery of new information, introduction to new characters and also experiences Pip’s life during and around the investigation. These sections helped me build a connection with Pip and Ravi, seeing and feeling how they do as the investigation gets closer to discovering the truth. They’re also the more emotive causing chapters, I went from being tense to laughing to tears in a few chapters. The logbook is where the facts and outcomes of Pips investigation are presented along with her suspect, these allow the reader to create their own hypothesis and agree/disagree with Pip’s representation of the facts and suspects. This totally suits me, I’ve watched a whole heap of crime TV series (Elementary, Bone, NCIS) so guessing the bad guy is part of the fun with murder mysteries. These styles latch on to you and create so much suspense to that you can’t help but read on. Who is the murderer?!SummaryI loved pretty much everything about this book. It gave it a full 5 stars. The way this book is written with the two narrative styles kept the pace running smoothly. The characters, even the side characters are relatable and people you can imagine knowing.This is a book where you check the time at night and know you should be going to sleep cause you need to get up in the morning and if you don’t go to sleep like RIGHT NOW you’re going to be a grumpy pants in the morning. BUT still debate reading just one more chapter! It is that addictive. If you love murder mysteries, or mystery books in general this is an excellent one. It is described as a YA book, but I think people of any adult age could enjoy reading this book. I just need to find out where I can squeeze the sequel into my tbr list cause I gotta know what happens next for Pip and Ravi.
