Book Review #91: As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson

  This is the third in a trilogy of books that I am a huge fan of. You can read my reviews of ' A Good Girl's Guide to Murder ' and  ' Good Girl, Bad Blood ' here, but I was so excited for this book to finally come out, and I couldn't wait to read it. Pip is haunted by her last investigation. Now that she is preparing to leave for university, it's finally time to put the past behind her. But after an online threat, a couple of dead birds, and some chalk drawings connect Pip to a man jailed for a crime that he may not have committed, Pip is pulled back into the world of investigating. But this time, Pip's life is on the line. And if she doesn't discover the truth, she will be the one who disappears. Unfortunately, I didn't love this book. It is a good standalone book, but it was my least favourite of the trilogy.    I really liked the idea of seeing the effects of Pip's previous investigations. It's realistic that the things she's been...

Book Review #76: Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson

Hey Guys x Last year I read and reviewed the first book, 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder', and you can read my review HERE . When I found out that the first book was getting a sequel, I was really excited. Pip is a character that I completely loved reading about, as well as her partner-in-crime Ravi. So I pre-ordered the book and read it as soon as I received it. Pip is back with a hit true-crime podcast detailing how she solved the murders of Andie Bell and Sal Singh. But when someone she knows goes missing, and she's asked to use her podcast to spread the word, Pip is reluctant to jump back into that dangerous world. But when the clues start to lead to something deadly, and the police refuse to help, will Pip be able to resist investigating? I really enjoyed this book. For a start, I like the way that Jackson writes, the way she tells a story. With a story like this, there are so many clues, red herrings and moving parts that it has to be written in a reall...

Book Review #67: A Good Girl's Guide To Murder by Holly Jackson

Hey Guys x Here's another book review, this time in the form of 'A Good Girl's Guide To Murder'. This is a book that I hadn't heard much about until I actually bought it. I remember going into a WHSmiths and it was in their 'recommended' section (along with 'One of Us Is Lying'), and I thought it looked kind of interesting, so I bought them both. Then I went online and saw that the online support for both of them was massive! Five years before, Andie Bell was murdered by Sal Singh. There's no doubt in anyone's mind that Sal was guilty... that is, apart from Pip, who has never quite believed the police's version of events. So when she has to do a class project, she knows exactly what case she's going to investigate. But when the evidence becomes too obvious to ignore, and Pip gets deeper and deeper into the lives of two people that she never really knew, can she push her personal connections aside to discover the truth? And if ...
