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.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder


The case is closed. Five years ago, schoolgirl Andie Bell was murdered by Sal Singh. The police know he did it. Everyone in town knows he did it.

But having grown up in the same small town that was consumed by the murder, Pippa Fitz-Amobi isn't so sure. When she chooses the case as the topic for her final year project, she starts to uncover secrets that someone in town desperately wants to stay hidden. And if the real killer is still out there, how far will they go to keep Pip from the truth? - excerpt from Goodreads.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson  is her first debut into the world of YA thriller/mystery. I have definitely not been active in the bookstagram scene, hence this book wasn't on my radar at all. As someone who love 'Truly Devious' and 'Charlotte Holmes' series, this was right down my alley. I will confess that I am pretty picky when it comes to these genre as Pretty Little Liars, The Lying Game are similar  but I did not have a liking to the plot line. My favourite have always been a crime being solved because I love to form my speculations, gather the facts from the book and have my own set of suspects, a little sleuthing while I read. Books like these are so much fun because when you get to the end, you get to know if you had the right target as well.
