Favorite book ever. I love this book my favorite book ever 🫶🏻

Lilliay 🐺

Love it. Holly Jackson has a good way with words. She makes fun plot twists and in this book. The best she has every written.

Jesse Evans-Jenkins

Great Read—Despite Having Some Predictable Steps. When I first started “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” I was captivated by its presentation. A Nancy Drew-esque protagonist decides to make a hometown murder whose case was closed-to-soon her senior capstone project. Being honest I did quite enjoy this page-turner as I was captivated to see what plot point would come next. With that being said, I yield from providing a full five-star review as there are quite a few tropes in this story that are all too common for Young Adult whodunnits nowadays—many that lead to this story feeling semi-reminiscent to the Pretty Little Liars series. I am eager to dive into the rest of the series to see what is to come for Pip, and her kindly-written sidekick Ravi.

10/10. I couldn’t put this book down I loved it. It definitely was a thriller and had a very good plot.

Merpasouras

Great!. I finish this book in two days, it had my attention the whole time. I’m going to move onto book 2, hoping it’s just as good. Wish me luck!

Clowey rose

Amazing read!. A great, easy going read that kept you on your toes until the very end!

Parkparkreads

Great book!. It was different and fun! Not my favorite thriller but definitely really great!!

Hbanana210

Good but hard to keep up. It’s a good book but over 25 characters and their relationship to the story were introduced within the first three chapters. Way too much at one time. The next time a character was mentioned, I forgot their relationship to another one and had to go back and find where they introduced them. Overall, not impressed. I do not get the hype.

Natalee.bailee

Nice plot twist. Super easy to read. I couldn’t put it down. There was so many crazy twists.

Mckaylag23

A Good Girls Guide To Murder. Read this book not ready for the amazing but, shocking plot twist! Whoever reads this will love it if they love mystery and thriller!

The dog lover123

Jaw-dropping. I can not begin to describe the hold this book series has on me. I have no idea where to start. This is so beautifully written and I truly do recommended it to anyone searching for a good thriller series.

Abs1186

Full of details and twists!. The first book to ever keep my attention! Read it in two days! I’ve never read an entire book before because I get bored quickly. So, so good!

Anomynous person2022

Love it. I loved the book so much, very entertaining, and reminded me of a real murder podcast. Except i had to read the whole podcast and all the words my self but way more detailed and again entertaining.

Grhduhxu

impeccable book. i loved it it was an interesting intriguing story

Spritekv

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. This book will have you on your toes page after page. It was a quick and easy read that had many unexpected twists and turns. Loved it!

Oliviarodrigoxoxo

Favorite book!. Okay this is going to be long but just hang on for a little! First thing, this book is my absolute favorite book so far! The character development is outstanding. You have to read the other books in the trilogy to see more of Pip and the others in order to get a better grasp of her life and her passion but overall in the first book they were amazing. My friend read this book too and she said it was a little hard to keep track of the characters so just keep that in mind while reading. Second, I love this book so much it took me less than a week to finish and maybe one and a half weeks to finish both the first and second book. (Good girl, bad blood-2) the third took me a week and a half to finish because it was a lot to process. Last but not least, definitely keep a tissue box next to you because I cried at least 5 times! So grab a drink and a blanket and get cozy cause this book sends you on a emotional roller coaster! Make sure to look up the trigger warnings before reading but other than that get ready to follow Pip on the biggest mystery in Fairview!

Ace🤍

Ashleysays5stars

I liked it. I like a book with a few twists and turns. Not boring at any point. Good for crime lovers.

Syntheticmommy

Gripping thriller with a twist. Hands down one of the best books I’ve read in the last few years. It doesn’t drag on, has a good pace, and you get to be so involved that you’ll feel compelled to take your own notes. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out Holly Jackson throws you for another loop. The plot twist are perfectly timed and don’t leave you confused. I can’t wait to read the sequel.

Era10s

Wow! Seriously good and addicting. The best mystery I’ve read in recent years! So hard to put it down. Great character development and plot. Really enjoyed it!

Jadexoxix

IMMACULATE. i love this book so much. i couldn’t put it down and the plot twist was amazing!

Honestly critical

Good but a little cheesy here and there. I liked the plot twists in the end

KarenSmith52879

One of the best books I have ever read!. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the ending it kinda just ended. I still can’t wait to read the sequels!

Lexireads

Good Read. Lots of names to remember, but storyline is quick, interesting, and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend if you’re new (or old) to the mystery genre!

M207557744

Amazing book. I bought a hard copy of the book/series it was amazing. It was thrilling, funny, and seeing the characters develop was amazing. Definitely recommend reading the series!

Myname'sdannybro

YES. YES YES YES AMAZING BEST BOOK EVER

Wenaiy

Wow. This book is very suspenseful, well-written, and just amazing in general. I loved every aspect of it, and I really don’t usually read that many books. But this book, I could not stop reading. It was like it was attached to my brain. The whole series is just my absolute favorite ever.

Guilkel

Not a fan of reading but…. WOW! Was not expecting the twist- at ALL!! I was so confident in my prediction but Holly Jackson proved me so wrong. Reading this was just as fun as watching a movie… may I say better? Definitely getting the sequel.

MIS MILK(the real)

need to read. this book is the perfect mix of, suspense and mystery I love it and would totally read it again

Sus787

Hard to put down!. Such a fun and enticing read! Great characters and winding plot, I finished it pretty fast. I was trying to follow the clues too and I did not expect the ending, it really did feel like listening to the Serial podcast. Also, one of the last chapters had such a beautifully descriptive and creative section in it (definitely my favorite writing part of the whole thing). Awesome YA mystery story! I could see it as a show or something for sure.

Mouse-potato

Love this book!. After I started reading, I couldn’t put it down! Loved from start to finish, Pip’s character is stunningly written.

Gems Books

Lives up to the hype!!. I was a little skeptical about reading a tik tok recommendation. But as soon as I picked it up it had my full attention. Loved each twist and turn!! A must read.

Bellanatorz

could not stop reading!!. oh my god i love this book. Right when i got it i could NOT stop reading it!! I loved it so much I finished it in a day!!!! The thrill and emotion you get whenever pip uncovers something crazy is amazing!! I love this book and this series and i hope Holly keeps up the great work!

Loolps

Great!. I loved this book. It keeps you well entertained and guessing till the end. However it was quite slow to pick up the pace. Great book overall though definitely recommend!

Millie Millie17

Must read. Was a great book it had so many twists and turns

Rieciem

Absolutely Amazing. I absolutely loved this book! I couldn’t put it down! I was trying to solve the mystery at the same time Pip was! Totally did not expect that ending! Definitely add this book to your library!

Lov2lrn

Ok, wow! This was unexpectedly powerful experience to read!. Clever plot twists and wonderful writing. What a wild ride! Loved it!

Mwill0810

Great read. I haven’t read a book in a long time. This was so good! I’m excited for the next one !

Mellisa Balls

Crazy Plot Twist. This book is absolutely amazing and can’t recommend it enough. I read this book in 3 days because of how interesting it was. If you enjoy mystery novels, I think this book is probably one of the best out there. I’m going to read the sequel.

Ansnsnfjejwj

Five stars. This book was so intricately plotted that it had me on my seat literally reading every chapter waiting to see what would happen next it’s an action packed book something new happens in every chapter pippa is a great detective and there’s always something new to find. The story follows pippa in third person and I normally don’t read third person books but this one was fantastic the way the narrator tells the life of pippa and the way she is and the other characters in the book. Overall the writing style was 10/10. The plot is so so good. Roughly it’s about the senior pippa fitz amobi doing her capstone project on the disappearance of Andie bell and her alleged murdered and boyfriend sal singh but pippa doesn’t believe this. When she goes hunting for answers though it seems that someone in town doesn’t want her snooping and digging up answers. It’s thrilling and very entertaining to read highly recommend!!

Haleyy_7

Loved this book!. Truly enjoyed this read. It kept me guessing and interested. I would recommend this book to others.

Alize Haori

I love it so much. I did not expect that plot twist. I recommend reading this book if you like crime and stuff, you can even solve it and go along with the story

Nyx.tl

it wasn’t that bad. maybe is because the prota is a teen but her actions and others were predictable also the way everything was going her way made the reading a bit boring but still good edit: just recently heard that the original one (Uk version) is more detailed and the prota isn’t annoying as this one, so i’ll read the whole serie

Jeshfhdjf

FAVORITE BOOK EVER. some of this book was a bit boring, i will admit. but towards the end i could not put this book down. the storyline is amazing, and so are the characters. i can’t wait to read the sequel!

Amandax345

Char_1234321

second half was so good. it started off kind of plain to me because pip was just getting clues and stuff but the last half of it was so good so if you don’t like it at first just keep reading trust me

Theycallme_kace

Finished in record time. A very good book!

Fultzyyyy

WOW. My jaw is still on the floor. I was hooked from the beginning to end!! I went back and forth the entire time about who I thought the big bad was. If you’re reading this review wondering if you should start this book… DO IT

Paige<33

Talk about a page turner. This story had me guessing until the very end but also convinced I knew who it was the whole time. It did an amazing job tying together all of the characters and also providing so much evidence for each one that you think it’s them all at one point or another. The relationship that bloomed between Ravi and Pippa truly made the story special. Her helping him and him helping her. Loved this read and can’t wait for the next in the series!

Kaylavball2548

I adore. Such an amazing book, kept me guessing until the end! Pippa is so clever!

Mani.2xx

First mystery. As you see this was my first mystery so I don’t really have anything to compare it to. But this was good! Towards the end the amount of suspense!! And the ending was unexpected and great. I thought I figured it out but I was completely wrong

Oliviasreads

Great mystery!. I was unsure what had happened the whole time but the pieces came together so nicely. Loved it so much I bought the 2nd one right away.

Syd_bish

Yes yes yes. Ever want to be apart of a murder investigation? This book takes you right along with it every step of the way.

Lanelolll

my fav series by far. This entire trilogy is soooo good. It has so many plot twists you won’t see what’s coming and you’ll be glued to the book until you finish!

Aggie95

Amazing. so captivating. best murder mystery ever!

ThatPeraon

new fav.. i absolutely loved this book. the title made me hesitant, as it seemed a bit cliché. but i finally gave it a chance and wow. not many books can throw me off the scent of the ending, but this one did fairly well. may have found a new fav author :)

Squikyreader

Book of the year!. Amazing. Just wow

Eem24242

Such a good book. I never write reviews but this book was incredible. It was a great mystery, with likable characters you were rooting for, layers to the plot and twists you won’t see coming. It also somehow managed to be a feel good book too. Loved it!

Page turner!. I’m normally not into murder mysteries but this one really kept my attention and gave me a few surprises. 10/10

Sosa 35674689

a nice little digestible murder story. definitely worth the read, there were multiple times where i was at the edge of my seat. amazing imagery and diction on the authors part. very enjoyable. (the main character is kinda boring tho, like a Y/N)

ReaderRunnerMom

Sucked me in. Was hesitant at first but wow it was good

Mckaylag23

A Good Girls Guide To Murder. Read this book not ready for the amazing but, shocking plot twist! Whoever reads this will love it if they love mystery and thriller!

Mojokel

Amazing book. Oh my goodness, i absolutely loved this story! Your writing is immaculate, and i couldn’t have seen it written any better! I love the plot and the huge plot twist, i was actually shocked. Hope to see and read more books like this.

Cool bean🧞

Definitely need to read😄😄. I have never had interest in reading murder mystery, but then my friend said I reallly needed to read this book. So I did….. and finished it in less then 3 days. It was amazing and really made you think. Definitely recommend, and glad I have it a try!!

Floating raft

Good book. I'm not one to read, but I loved this book and the way it had me guessing who the murderer was. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves murder mystery.

Big eyes 56

pretty good. love the characters, the development was great and the story line was a good read. read very quickly because i was intrigued but it was a little young for me i think. didn't care for the ending but it was understandable.

Nicequeen_16

Good Book. Really is a good book, honestly a good series overall. Read it in 3 days I literally could not put it down. So I definitely recommend if you are looking for a interesting series of books (no spoilers in this review!)

KitaShae

Good Girls Guide To Murder. This book was so interesting. It kept you involved and trying to figure out who did it even when you weren’t reading the book. They characters were interesting. Definitely recommend reading this book

Emily Natareno

100/10 recommend. This novel is utterly captivating in the best way. It mixed the most adored plots into one and we get to see a lot of developments within the characters. My favorite book i’ve read by far, I kept falling more in love with every page

Justagirlwithtimetokill

Couldn’t put it down. I can’t seem to describe why this book is unique, it just has it own vibe to it that is refreshing. The storyline kept me up late into the night reading because I had to know the ending. Would highly recommend even if crime isn’t your thing, it’s not usually mine.

Mwill0810

Great read. I haven’t read a book in a long time. This was so good! I’m excited for the next one !

FLizy98

Fantastic story. The storyline was absolutely fantastic. I ended up finishing the whole book the same day I bought it. I didn’t see the ending coming at all, such a great plot twist. Definitely recommend this book!

Lelly pardo

Lelly pardo. This book was so interesting, and so good I couldn’t take my hands off of it. I wished we could’ve gotten more of Pips and Ravi’s relationship. Bc I loved their ship

Ln2323

Okay but the audiobook is AMAZING. Brava to every voice actor 👏🏼 Highly recommend the book, and as someone who doesn’t have time to just sit and read, but is allowed headphones at work, please give the audiobook a go. So good 10/10 *chef kiss*

Haven1102

Amazing!!. I’ve just recently gotten in to murder mystery books, but this has by far been the best. So many twists and turns, it feels like you’re solving the murder too. One of my new all time favorites!

CandaceCarpenter

So confused about this books rating. So many unrealistic events occur in this book you actually have to suspend your grasp of reality.

Swszabo

WOW. i usually am one for a nice cute love story but i found myself NEEDING to finish this book. it’s very cleverly written, easy to follow if you’re not a huge reader but getting into it like me, and has an ending that’ll make you just say “wow”

Kayy_peee

Couldn’t put it down.. I read this book in three days! I’ve never been so obsessed with a book ever. I want to read it a million times with the same feeling of it being the first time.

Merpasouras

Great!. I finish this book in two days, it had my attention the whole time. I’m going to move onto book 2, hoping it’s just as good. Wish me luck!

Clowey rose

Amazing read!. A great, easy going read that kept you on your toes until the very end!

Alliekat9797

amazing read!. this book was so cleverly written, it pulls you in and makes you feel as if you’re investigating the case right along Pippa’s side. it wasn’t predictable, keeps you engaged throughout and honestly I had to force myself to put it down to get some work done!! 100000/10 recommend!

Aniveila

First of a great series. This book let me on the edge of my seat. Just like the rest. I read all three in 3 days. If only there were more books just like this. Reading a book with a different type of writing style like this is something I’d been dreaming of. Having the narrator and then pips point of view is probably my favorite part

⚡️.denki.simp.⚡️

wow. just wow.. i am in love with this book, and am waiting to get GGBB. i fell in love with the characters, and the plot was very interesting. i felt as if i were living alongside pip. this is by far my favorite book- and ive read a LOT of books. cant wait to start GGBB and get the third in september!

Niwil86

A good read. Was a little slow in the beginning for me, but I didn’t give up and it got so much better, and I couldn’t put it down, overall really enjoyed this read.

Naomi0110

So good. So many twists and turns! When you think you have it figured out… just know, you don’t!

Ashlllyn

Beautifully written. This book got me out of an insane book slump. I was never bored when reading this book. The author us great. So great. She knows exactly how to keep a reader hooked. When I finished the book I THREW it and just sobbed. It was so perfectly done. I will never forget this book, and am looking forward to the sequel!
