A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is a quick and suspenseful read. Pip is a very interesting character to follow; her desire to do the right thing and her obsession with the Andie Bell case slowly take over her life and build tension outside of the main plot. Her relationship with Ravi and their mutual understanding of each other is beautiful to see played out. 

The plot itself is a constant thrill, rushing from one new clue to the next, while still wrapping everything up neatly at the end. AND WOW. THE PLOT TWISTS. The reveals at the end of the book are shocking, yet oh so perfectly set up.

Overall, AGGGTM is one of my favorite books I've read recently and is soooo much fun!
