A good girl’s guide to murder is a mystery novel by Holly Jackson. It’s the first book in the series of three novels about the same characters. 

The book tells us a story about a 17 year-old Pippa Fitz Amobi who is determined to solve the cold murder of Andie Bell that happened 5 years ago in her town Little Kilton. The police and detectives proclaimed that Andie’s boyfriend Sal Singh is the one who brutally murdered his girlfriend and then procided to commit suicide. 

She leads an investigation masked as a school project. Throughout the whole book Pippa/Pip finds out a lot of different evidence that show the innocence of Sal Singh and she’s sure the real killer is still among residents of Little Kilton. She befriends Sal’s younger brother Ravi and he really helps her with this mysterious case that needs to end once and for all. She needs and is determined to find out the truth. For Andie, Sal, Ravi and now herself too.

Personal opinion:

I enjoyed this book very much. You cannot put it down no matter what and the words of the author just suck you in. The story is full of plot twists and turns. I read the whole book in a day and I need to say that it is one of the most exciting murder-mystery books I have read in a while. 

It’s great for anyone who likes to read and is interested in mystery books. 

I really, really recommend it!
