Good girl, Bad BloodThe review below is being done on a Netgalley Advanced Reader's Copy of Good Girl, Bad Blood. This review is my own, and I have written it in my honest opinion.
There is so much I want to say about this series by Holly Jackson. This is the second novel in her series that started with A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, and I must say that I enjoyed the second one just as much as the first. Pippa Fitz-Amobi is a high school student who did a capstone project on a local murder-suicide that took place five year prior. She did her project because she felt that the person in question of the murder, Sal, did not commit the crime. Her goal was to see how the media contributed to the case, but in the end she wanted to prove that Sal was innocent. During her project she ended up uncovering so many possible suspects and secrets that many wanted to keep hidden. I will not give out more information just in case you are wanting to read the book. This book I am reviewing takes place a year after her original capstone and Pip is asked once again to participate in uncovering a mystery. Jaime, the older brother of one of her closest friends, has gone missing. Jaime's family believes that something is wrong because staying away from home for so long without communication is not his style. Pip takes up this favor and realises that maybe Jaime was taken against his will, and hopefully still alive. In addition to following many leads and using social media to help her uncover the events of the night he went missing, Pip also publishes a podcast where she shares insight on her previous mystery experience as well as what is currently going on in the current case. I had originally seen the first novel at Barnes and Noble when it was the book club pick for the month, but I decided to wait to buy it later. Looking back, I wish I had bought it then and there because it was such a fast-paced book with so many twists and turns that I could not put it down. It was because of this series that I made time to wake up earlier each day to read before work. Although, this second book did take some time to get started with the uncovering of the mystery, but once it did, I again could not put the book down. Holly Jackson's series will end with the upcoming novel As Good As Dead later this year, so if you are interested in reading the first instalments, you can find them below: Amazon Audible Barnes and Noble Better World Books Powell's
