A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

That was a very fast read. Usually, I take some time with any book, be it literary or mystery. But this one, I completed in 2 days. The author Holly Jackson got my attention from the very beginning to the end. I think this will be my first series that I shall ever read I guess.

This is the story of the town Fairview where Andie Bell, a 17 year old went missing and was declared dead upon the death of Sal Singh, the alleged murderer. There was never a confession nor a trial. But just a declaration that Sal Singh was the murderer. Five years later, Pip, a high school student, chooses to unravel the discrepancies in the investigation and for some reason, has a strong belief that Sal is not the murderer. Will Pip unravel the dark secrets in the disappearance and the murders of two high school students? Read to find out.

I think Holly Jackson did a phenomenal job in writing a captivating thriller. Although it has the familiar beats of every other thriller, I enjoyed it because I picked it up with one attention - a book that will make me pick it up rather than the phone and it absolutely delivered on it. This book had you guessing who the murderer was and that's something I like. Although, I found weaker intentions behind Pip's motivation, I think this is a great book.

If you are looking for something fun to read, not work your brain much and something that just captures your attention, you can safely trust me and pick this book up!
