Can’t get enough of Pip

I always love listening to Pip solve a mystery! This one fell a little flat for me because of where it falls one the AGGGTM timeline. If they story was more fresh in my mind it probably would have gotten more stars from me! Will always be a fan of Pip and Holly Jackson!

How it all came to pass.

Really liked the whole series. So sad that it’s over. Now I have to find another suspenseful series.

Short and sweet

Although this book was short, I enjoyed the storyline. It was captivating and very well written. A good girls guide to murder was a good book as well which is why I got this one. It starts before book one, and it dips into the series as a whole and gives you a hint of what the book one would be about. this book was also very engaging and I enjoyed the different voices and characters. It introduces new characters that are introduced in the first book and on through the series, and it gives you a hint of who they are, and what part they play in the future books. I highly recommend this book to start off the series of a good girls guide to murder 10 out of 10 would recommend. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Read this one first!

If you haven’t read the Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series, read this one first. I still really enjoyed it, but it was harder to fully enjoy knowing what I knew about all the characters after reading all the other books.

Amazing but probably my least favorite of the four (still better then like all books)

Amazing, would re-read, performance is amazing, just such a great book. Would recommend. Also I just love holly jackson!
