Holly Jackson had me at "murder mystery dinner party." Highly recommend for those who loved the Good Girl's Guide to Murder series or for those who want a quick, light mystery read. I loved getting to see Pip - I mean, Celia Bourne heheh - and her friends before everything goes down. Ant is still annoying as all get out though; however, if it wasn't for his annoying comments alongside a particular sighting at the novella's conclusion we wouldn't have the events play out in the main series as they did.

Only Holly Jackson would have the skill to make a lighthearted murder mystery party such an engaging story. Such a fun addition to the GGGTM series

This is a fun, quick read. I read Kill Joy after A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, and it was really interesting picking up on the little Easter eggs in the prequel! The audiobook runs the exact length of the game in the novella, which is a fun tidbit.

There's also a really good depiction of the fear of the dark and the unsettling feeling of being seen by someone/something unseen.

It's unsettling to see Elliott interacting with the kids, knowing what he's done. It's funny that Ravi was actually the inspiration for the incept on of Pip's capstone, after his joke at the end of the first book.
