"Originally published in paperback by Egmont UK Ltd, London, in 2019."Book Synopsis
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT! An addictive must-read mystery with shades of Serial and Making a Murderer about an investigation turned obsession, full of twists and turns and with an ending you'll never expect. Everyone in Fairview knows the story. Pretty and popular high school senior Andie Bell was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then killed himself. It was all anyone could talk about. And five years later, Pip sees how the tragedy still haunts her town. But she can't shake the feeling that there was more to what happened that day. She knew Sal when she was a child, and he was always so kind to her. How could he possibly have been a killer? Now a senior herself, Pip decides to reexamine the closed case for her final project, at first just to cast doubt on the original investigation. But soon she discovers a trail of dark secrets that might actually prove Sal innocent . . . and the line between past and present begins to blur. Someone in Fairview doesn't want Pip digging around for answers, and now her own life might be in danger. And don't miss the sequel, Good Girl, Bad Blood!

So I've been reading a lot lately, and I recently stumbled across something called "BookTok" while I was searching for new books to add to my TBR collection. I don't use TikTok (or much social media in general), but I quickly discovered hoards of short videos where people share their favorite current reads. That's where I found A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (among other books). I did enjoy this story - the character development, and the unexpected twist at the end. I wanted to give it 5 stars, but... (and hate me if you want), but I had to take away some points for details. I am an American, living in the U.S. In fact, I grew up in New England, not far from where this book was set in Connecticut. Americans do NOT sign their text messages with "Xx" and they never use the word "fancy" instead of "like." I have never fancied anyone in my entire life. These details are super important to continuity, and I have a harder time immersing myself in a story when those details are not consistent. When I read, I'm trying to get lost in the story, picture myself right there with those characters. But every now and then, I found myself in the U.K. and having to be reminded that these characters are supposed to be suburban Americans. Don't authors have editors or publicists or someone to help catch these errors? Other than that, I enjoyed this book and I would definitely be interested in reading something else by Holly Jackson.
Great story.

I’m just now at a point in my life where I truly enjoy reading. Almost 30, a mortgage, and 3 kids.. who would have thought?? But I’ll say this, give it a chance. It was hard for me to get into in the beginning, but I kept pushing. By the third book, I was SO SAD there wouldn’t be another to follow. This series is AMAZING!
