Cute and short prequel to the Good Girls Guide to Murder series. Good intro to the characters and allusions to the overarching character traits. Felt unresolved and short but it is a novella so.

đ¸ ARIANA'S BOOK REVIEW đ¸
âââââ/5
Genre: Mystery, Young Adult, Thriller, Contemporary, Novella
In this prequel to the âA Good Girlâs Guide To Murderâ series, Holly Jackson takes readers on a thrilling journey into the world of murder mysteries and fiction within fiction. The story centers around Pippa Fitz-Amobi, a character beloved by fans of the series, and gives us a deeper understanding of her origins and detective skills.
The premise of the book is absolutely captivating. The murder mystery party set in a 1920s world called Joy promises to be an immersive and enchanting experience. I could envision the elaborate costumes, the atmospheric setting, and the suspense hanging in the air. The combination of the murder mystery party with a fictional island creates a unique and intriguing backdrop for the story to unfold.
As Pip reluctantly takes part into the game, she finds herself quickly drawn into a web of intrigue and deception. What starts as a fun event soon transforms into a real-life investigation when a murder occurs within the game. I could sense the adrenaline pumping as Pip, driven by her natural detective instincts, becomes determined to uncover the truth behind the murder of Reginald Remy.
But it doesnât stop there. âKill Joyâ introduces another mystery that captures Pipâs attention, leaving readers eager to unravel the secrets that lie beneath the surface of Little Kilton. This additional layer of suspense adds depth to the narrative and keeps the readers hooked, page after page.
What truly stands out in Jacksonâs writing is her ability to create complex and relatable characters. Through Pip, readers are given a protagonist who is not only intelligent and resourceful, but also flawed and vulnerable. Her development throughout the book allows readers to form a strong connection with her, making every twist and turn in the plot all the more suspenseful.
Overall, âKill Joyâ is an enthralling read. With its immersive setting, intricate mysteries, and well-developed characters, itâs clear that Holly Jackson has crafted a prequel that will captivate fans of the âA Good Girlâs Guide To Murderâ series and new readers alike.
People who have read âOne Of Us Is Lyingâ (Karen M. Macnus), âThe Inheritance Gameâ (Jennifer Lynn Barnes) and âHow To Survive Your Murderâ (Danielle Valentine) may like this book.
