A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson was exciting and suspenseful throughout. I really loved the characters, and the way the plot unfolded. For me, I think I had a dash too much chaos, but it was understandable given the inexperience of our resident sleuth. A lot of the information felt like it was obtained in a very sneaky way, but ultimately I really liked it and enjoyed the way the investigation took twists and turns to reveal information. I liked the mix of writing styles between interviews, texts, transcripts, and regular prose. I think the variety added a lot to the enjoyment of the story and@made the investigation feel as real as if it had actually happened. I’m excited to see where the next book in this series leads, and that this series is getting made into a TV show soon!
