Good Girl, Bad Blood

 

Pip is not a detective anymore.

With the help of Ravi Singh, she released a true-crime podcast about the murder case they solved together last year. The podcast has gone viral, yet Pip insists her investigating days are behind her.

But she will have to break that promise when someone she knows goes missing. Jamie Reynolds has disappeared, on the very same night the town hosted a memorial for the sixth-year anniversary of the deaths of Andie Bell and Sal Singh.

The police won't do anything about it. And if they won't look for Jamie then Pip will, uncovering more of her town's dark secrets along the way... and this time everyone is listening. But will she find him before it's too late? - excerpt from Goodreads

Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson is second in the series and the story continues not long after the end of the first book. Because of the trust and expertise of Pip, she found herself caught up in another mystery. This time it's someone significant in her life, while that fact is true she uncovers more secrets that makes this book such a great read. The plot twists is one that moves the story forwards and grabs unto your attention till all these ends. 

Besides a good plot, character development of Pip also adds on to the greatness of the book. What she discovers, her moves, her sharp mind continually keep readers feeling for her as well as that want to get to know how she reacts to situations. Many new interactions and relationships were built in this book and I have to say it is truly essential in making this book well loved. 

I couldn't find any flaws to the plot even though it's a thinner book than the first. It did not feel lacking in any way and neither does the reader have that feeling of wanting more. I absolutely loved how the book ended, it had so much emotions for Pip. Who Pip came out of this second book is definitely something to look forward to in the last book which came out not long after I finished this. Second books always get compared with the first because readers have high expectations, the author delivered this wonderfully. I would say both books are equally good and not to be missed if you want to know what happens to Pip next and what new mystery will be the wrap up of the last book. Definitely pick this up if you love a good murder mystery and a writing style where the author includes evidence, interview recordings and other findings as part of the story, it certainly looked like the readers are reading a case file and solving the mystery with Pip.
