This is one of the only times where the third book in a trilogy is truly the best. I was confused when the big mystery was solved halfway through rather easily, but it’s the perfectly convoluted resolution that really sold this. I loved the dive into moral ambiguity—playing out scenarios from the Andie Bell case with different players to see how it changes the moral value. It was shocking, intricate, perfectly comedic, and darkly satisfying. I didn’t want it to end, but that last line made it hurt a little less❤️‍🩹

I could barely put this series down, and this book was no different. The way the PTSD and trauma of the characters was explored was raw, emotional, and realistic. Despite the heavy and morally grey themes, the author had a way of making the reader understand every side to the story, and you keep rooting for the main characters until the very last page. The ending was emotional but realistic for the characters we’ve gotten to know over the last three books. I will miss these characters, but the author wrapped up all the loose ends of the series in a way that made the closure feel final and satisfying. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

This was such a ride, but also so tough to read. I feel like it was harder to read at the start because Pip had ✨trauma✨. I definitely expected the twist in the middle, but tbh I didn’t expect how the rest of the book would go. I can see how it got there from Pip’s interactions with the ****** reflecting on it, but still a surprise. I was not expecting how the second half turned out and am still unsure about how I feel about the end. Still, really enjoyed the series as a whole.

So out of character, everything about PTSD is wrong, plot holes, no. That is not Pip.

I didn’t know what to expect after book 2, which wasn’t quite what I’d hoped for following book 1. But WOW, this was more than a murder mystery, more than smart-girl-beats-bad-guy, more than a story of justice…this was emotionally gut wrenching. Pip is brilliant and crazy and both the worst example of what to do and the friend and sister we all need in our corner. Do not delay reading this series!

After reading a lot more YA mystery books over the last 2 years, I've come to appreciate the A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series more. The way Holly Jackson weaved the whole story and everything came full circle was just amazing. I will never shut up about how good her writing (and this series is). I hope if they decide to continue the AGGGTM TV series, they will do all the books justice, especially As Good As Dead.

I love how the series gets darker and darker. I love how we got to see how Pip spiraled. I love looking at how it led her to this point, understanding the reasons why this needed to be how it ended.
