This sequel is perfect for mystery lovers and anyone who likes to read a good downward spiral.
Holly Jackson writes an amazing second book that brings together loose ends you thought you’d forgotten about from the first book, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. The case Pip is forced into solving, like some reluctant 50’s cop who’s too old for this, is the disappearance of her childhood friend’s older brother. In a race against the clock and whoever took Jaime, Pip gets lost in her detective work once again. Will she find Jaime in time? Will she save the day in Fairview once again or ruin everything?
Reread this book for a book club at my work, Bookish Modesto. I love this series and Holly Jackson, I could go on for days about Pip Fitz-Amobi and her descent into darkness. This is a stellar sequel with a powerful metaphor for Pip’s trauma and PTSD from book one. Fabulous mystery and I can’t wait to reread book 3 next. It’s a perfect trilogy.
