Oh my GODS. I was not prepared. So I read and enjoyed a good girls guide to murder several years ago and just somehow never read the rest of the series. But with the recent casting announcement I decided to pick it back up! I don’t read thrillers much anymore because I find them a bit anxiety inducing but occasionally I feel that it is worth it. This is one of those cases. Pip’s story in this book was so powerful. The mystery itself was so complex and nuanced with fantastic twists and I found that the book dealt with dark subjects (i.e. rape, the justice system, the gray area between good and bad) in a carefully crafted way. I love a good mystery once in a while but my favourite thing about this book was Pip’s development. There were some amazing character beats which I won’t spoil and I really can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. I just need my library loan to come though!
