I totally didn’t see the ending coming.
Holly J can do no wrong in my eyes. Loved the second instalment in this 3 part series. If you’re a true crime girlie like me you’ll like this book but also the series. It follows pippa who runs a TC podcast called “A good girls guide to murder” birthed from the events of the 1st book - no spoilers go read it! Pip promised she’d hung up her detective boots for good but that was until her friends’ brother Jamie goes missing. Pip makes the hard choice to help find Jamie, dead or alive…

I really just got sucked in to this and it didn’t release me until it was over
Wow! I thought A Good Girl's Guide to Murder was good but this one held up to the same level. I love the format and full-cast audio and definitely recommend to experience these books through audio.
Pip is so good and uncovering secrets and revealing the truth. The ending was a shock and I definitely didn't see any of it coming. I enjoyed this from start to finish and can't wait to read the next one!

I opened Good Girl, Bad Blood fully expecting Pip to be living her best retired-detective life—maybe knitting, maybe hydrating, maybe doing literally anything other than diving headfirst into more murder-y chaos.
But no. Of course not. Silly me for assuming this girl would embrace peace.
In this sequel, Pip insists she’s done with investigating. Retired. Tired. Over it. And honestly? I believed her for approximately three whole pages. Then a local guy goes missing, the police shrug like they misplaced their last two brain cells, and suddenly Pip is back on her nonsense—microphone in hand, trauma in tow, dragging poor Ravi along for yet another season of “teenagers doing the police’s job better than the police.”
What I love about this book is how it manages to be tense, twisty, and compulsively readable while also making me mutter, “Pip. BABE. THERAPY,” every ten minutes. The podcast angle is chef’s kiss, the stakes feel higher, and the town somehow gets even sketchier. At this point I’m convinced the local weather report is just: 100% chance of secrets with scattered murder vibes.
And don’t even get me started on Jamie Reynolds disappearing the same night as the memorial. The drama! The layers! The small-town energy that screams, “We have normal festivals AND unresolved trauma!”
My favorite part? How everyone is suddenly listening to Pip’s every move, like she’s a true-crime Taylor Swift dropping hints in Easter eggs. Only instead of breakup songs, it’s... you know... potential homicide.
I’m giving it four stars because it kept me hooked, stressed me out in a fun way, and delivered plot twists like Oprah hands out cars. The missing star is for the fact that Pip really needs someone to hide her investigation equipment and gently tell her to take a nap.
Still—if you liked book one, this is the chaotic, addictive sequel your anxious little heart has been waiting for. Enjoy the mystery. And hydrate. You’ll need it.
