A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
My name is Advik. I am in 8th grade. I love to swim, bike, watch TV and much more.
I read A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is a nail-biting murder mystery book. I love Holly Jackson’s writing, and I think this book shows some of her true talents. In my opinion, this book is excellent for starting a thrilling series.
Five years ago, popular high school girl Andie Bell went missing and was allegedly kidnapped and then brutally murdered. Andie’s body was never found. Her charming boyfriend, Salil ‘Sal’ Singh, was accused of the kidnap and murder of his girlfriend before supposedly killing himself. The protagonist, Pippa ‘Pip’ Fitz-Amobi, disagrees with this theory because there are too many loose ends in the case the police conducted five years ago. As a result, Pip decides to investigate this case for her final senior project. As Pip uncovers a spiraling web of dark secrets in her small town, she is astonished by the things she learns, things she would have never known if not for this investigation.
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder has twists and turns around every corner. It has an ending you will never expect. I love the ever-shifting suspects, the lies, and the twists. I strongly encourage every avid reader who loves mystery to try out this gripping book. I suggest this book for ages fourteen years and above.
