A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

Three and a half stars. A fun read.

My middle daughter has been reading this one, and it piqued my interest—seemed like a good excuse to give it a try so we could talk it over. Turns out, it’s a solid mystery. Nothing groundbreaking, but definitely worth the read. It’s clearly YA (which I don’t mind at all) and blends investigative journalism with suspense in a way that keeps the story engaging.

Jackson crafts a well-paced mystery with a likable protagonist, some unexpected twists, and a creative mix of interview transcripts, case notes, and maps alongside the main narrative. This mixed-media approach adds a fresh layer to the story and makes it an immersive read.

Overall, it’s an enjoyable, brisk read that’s well put together. It won’t redefine the mystery genre, but if you like YA stories with a determined lead and a solid plot, it’s definitely worth picking up.

This story made me feel what the protagonist felt the anger, sadness, happiness all of those. After I finished this book I couldn't stop thinking about it and maybe I will never be able to, just like Pippa will always remember what happened, but now she will only think the truth.

It was a really good book but the show kinda ruined it ngl

Lots of twists and unexpected turns.
