I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK. I would definitely recommend this. Pip deserves the world. Max Hasting pissed me off. Ravi is just ❤️. Cara slayed. Jamie was kinda meh. I felt that he was a bit naive and he really really needs to get his life straightened out. I disliked him a lot and I feel so bad for his parents. Nat was portrayed wonderfully

Actually batter than the first!! I did NOT expect the ending. But I think that was for the best. I HIGHLY recommend, especially if you have read the first one. “A good girls guide to murder”

the first book in this series is my favorite book and this one did not disappoint either. Pippa is thrown back into detective work and this time its almost more emotional. (i did cry through the entirety of the last 3 chapters)

Ravi’s character is still hollow. The dialogue is kind of painful at times but not to the point I can’t look past it. Holly Jackson is a great writer. The plot is very well constructed and realistic enough. The last few chapters were amazing. This book is very enjoyable and hard to put down.

Another five star for Holly Jackson is well deserved, I know that this is the only outlier within the whole series as this book is the one “least liked within the series.” Maybe it had something to do with the underdog take the book had, but if anything I enjoyed this book more than the first. The main character Pip is more unhinged and more motivated than ever <seing as the case of the missing boy- Jamie Reynolds, hits close to home seeing as one of her best friends is brother to Jamie. I loved the friendships she forms especially in this book since it shows her connection to Nat Da Silva is one unmatched, Pip was able to support her in a way that only they understood. Although, there was similar parts in A Good Girls Guide To Murder I just personally enjoyed this one better seeing as- at least for me, if had more emotional depth seeing as we (the readers) were with Pip through everything that happened to her in the barn, and it was way more tense then in A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder.

my only real criticism is the CB storyline started too late and as a result the conclusion seemed super rushed.
