A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson is about a senior high school student, Pip, who decides to investigate a closed murder case. Everyone who lives in Fairview is familiar with the case of Andie Bell. She was a popular and pretty high school student. She was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then killed himself over the grief. Five years later, the tragedy still haunts her small town, and everyone can’t stop talking about it.
Pip feels that there is more to what happened that day. She knew Sal as a kid, and he was always kind to her. She feels that the police have pinned the crime on the wrong person, and she is determined to find out the truth behind the murder. She decides to investigate the murder as her capstone project for school. As she dwells deeper into the case, she discovers dark secrets that someone is desperate to keep hidden. Will Pip be able to find out the truth behind the Andie Bell murder?
The novel is geared towards young adults and could seem juvenile to some readers. I thought it was a good read and it had multiple twists. I found the plot to be interesting and kept me entertained until the end of the book. The book did have a lot of fillers and I felt that the book did drag at times. I am looking forward to the other books in the series.
