Like the first book in the series, this was also an incredible book. I did find it to be a little less together than 'A Good Girls Guide to Murder' but I still absolutely loved the book. The characters and the plot line were well planned and executed. I watch and read a lot of crime based shows, movies and books and often find myself working out the ending way before I reach it but with this, there were so many options and twists that I found myself guessing over and over again as the plot developed.

Again, the audiobook only added to my reading experience with this book as it is a full cast audiobook but it also has phone calls as actual phone calls, when Pip is reading from her case notes, you can hear the movement of paper, when she records conversations, you can hear the equipment whirring and beeping etc. The audiobook was a fully immersive experience and it was brilliant. I also really enjoyed hearing elements of the podcast created by Pip in this book, it was a clever continuation from the first book.

This was an amazing read! The only reason this one isn’t getting 5 stars is because everything came together too quickly in the end compared to the first book. It also seemed to come out of nowhere, but it was still written so well and gave me the shock of the century. Definitely wasn’t expecting this ending. Worth the read!!

i think i love this one even more than the first book. i‘m so excited for the third one.

i liked the mystery in the first one more but i had so much more fun with the characters in good girl, bad blood - especially ravi and pip!! i live for ravi’s sense of humor, he’s a very comforting character with everything going on.

the ending WOW
