Omg I love Jackson's writing, I couldn't put this book down either. The continuation from A Good Girls Guide To Murder is subtle, not a cliché series, but a series that allows further development of the characters and another brilliant mystery. Again the plot twists were unexpected, and Jackson cleverly included new and old characters. I really enjoyed how aspects of the first book were carried through into this one, without feeling forced or just there for continuation. I do, however, think the relationship between Ravi and Pip could have been expanded more, but also do understand why he wasn't a major character.

mysterious and interesting. after AGGTM, this book takes some of the consequences of the last and manages to be a consistent and coherent follow-up.

pip isn’t my favorite character

- she can be a little insensitive to some of her co-characters (especially Nat!) and has inexplicably become an expert at police investigative procedures without development of those skills. i would have loved a chapter or two of her enjoying casual researching on investigations, just so her almost over-professional knowledge is explained better. that also would have made a fantastic contrast with the end, where she experiences this from a different side, as a direct witness. either way, pip’s mental health and the way it is discussed were very strong points in this book.

i enjoyed how the different characters were introduced and how a new mystery was developed without entirely neglecting the first. that was impressive and really immersive.

The book was really good but make sure that you read the first book in series for some of the references in this one.

Jackson does it again in the sequel to AGGGTM. Pippa once again investigates as her friends older brother goes missing and the police won't investigate. In this new installment Pippa is determined to rescue her friends brother and return him safely. This new book retains all the joy and intrigue of the first while remaining different from the first books story. The only way this is really bad though is because Sal is in this book way less than the first unfortunately. I am so excited to see where Jackson takes the story into the second and accompanying novella.
