Wow, this book really lived up to the hype. It was like a mish-mash of true crimes stories I’ve heard about meets Twin Peaks. The podcast format with a full-cast narration made for an excellent audio listen and the fast-paced intriguing reveals had me speeding through this one. I’ll definitely continue on with this series, although after this ending, I’ll be curious to see where it continues.

Loved this!!! There were good plot twists, the characters were fun, and I really liked the light romance between Pip and Ravi. I've found myself getting tired of romance that feels shoehorned into books, so this was a welcome surprise. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder was hard to put down, and I flew through it. The incorporation of mixed media was a nice touch. Really the only reason I'm taking half a star off is because

the dog dies.

I also thought

there was going to be something up with the owner of the Ivy House not having amnesia, and her grandson was Henry Hill, so I thought he was going to turn out to be HH, but I was clearly wrong.

Review after rereading:

I guess my hyperfixation to this series reignited after watching the show. I appreciated Holly Jackson's writing more after my reread. She is indeed a genius.

And since I can't wait to read again how it all ties together, I'm off to read Good Girl, Bad Blood.
