This is the sequel to a Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, and I actually think I enjoyed it more than the first. It felt more mature, the characters were definitely more developed, and I felt like the clues came together better at the end. In this one, Pip is a true crime podcaster, taking us along as she (reluctantly) becomes involved in another mystery. She’ll never be Nancy Drew, but she can try! I liked the little “exhibits” included throughout, they really brought the story to life. It touches on some important topics, and ends with a question of the grey-ness of morality… good and bad aren’t so black and white after all. Not something I would re-read (it still has a teen fiction vibe, obviously as that’s the target audience) but it definitely was more of a page turner for me than GGGTM!

I really enjoyed this second book in the trilogy. As a fan of the first one I'd say it's a bit slower than the previous one but the case is anyway interesting and very tense. As usual, Ravi Singh is an obsession. The plot twist at the end is wonderful and I would never expect it!!! Loved it! 😍

“I think we all get to decide what good and bad and right and wrong mean to us, not what we’re told to accept.”
