"A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" by Holly Jackson not only rescued me from a reading slump but turned out to be a thrilling escape. The multitude of theories I formed about the murderer kept me engaged, but the unexpected plot twist in the last few chapters had me glued to the pages well into the early morning hours.

Pip and Ravi, the main characters, felt  likable and realistic, navigating their roles with authenticity. Despite the author being white, the representation of People of Color in the book was well done. I'm eager to delve into the next book in the series, anticipating what's next for Pippa's investigative journey.
