Amazing book! Adventurous but you have to read the first book to understand a few things. Suspenseful and had me reading till 12:30 last night! Amazing plot and amazing characters.

2nd book in the good girls guide to murder series! A great page-turner with suspense and mystery. I'm constantly trying to figure out the case with Pip which is great fun. This one was quite sad in the end though :'(

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.

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