Such a fun short read. A great prequel to the trilogy!!
Super fun mystery, game of Clue vibe. Also reminded me of the movie ‘Knives Out’. I really love Pip from the other books so I searched far and wide to get my hands on a copy of this book. Thank you eBay.
Perfect way to lead into A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder or even if you read this after the trilogy, it’s so interesting to see how Pip got into everything before diving into her search into the case of Andie Bell. But oh boy to know what happens at the end of the trilogy then reading this is CRAZY!!!!!! Loved it.

I absolutely fell in love with A Good Girl's Guide to Murder from the moment I read the first page, so I was super eager to pick up the prequel once I'd heard about it! In this novella we follow our main character Pip as she tries to solve another fictional murder at a friend's murder mystery party. While it was a fun idea, and it was interesting seeing how Pip got inspired to take on the murder of Andie Bell as her senior capstone project, I wouldn't say that this is "required reading" for the series as a whole. I didn't find myself as engrossed with the "mystery" in this one as I was in AGGGTM, and I didn't connect with Pip as much as I would've liked to (at times she got really over-the-top and annoying - she definitely wouldn't be fun at parties 😛). I do recommend picking this up if you're looking for a fast read and are a fan of Holly Jackson, or YA mysteries in general!
