Oh girl\u2026! This was one of those books I have read non-stop, reading
\nevery minute I could squeeze in those 3 days of life. It was like I was almost
\nliterally glued to it. I guess, I need not say but still, I lOVED IT. I have
\nread such a good book after years and it brought me back from my very long reading
\nslump.<\/span><\/div>\n

So, \u201cA Good Girl\u2019s Guide to Murder\u201d is the debut novel by
\nHolly Jackson. She has written quite a few more books after this one and I do
\nhope I stumble upon them, and they are as good as well. Coming to our Good Girls
\nGuide to Murder, written in third person, this is a murder mystery of a schoolgirl
\ncalled Andie Bell who was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend Sal Singh. Everyone
\nin the small town knows it and the case is closed and all. But as we would have
\nit, our hero Pippa Fitz-Amboi, somehow has her
\nown doubts over the story and picks it up as her school project. Then of course,
\nthings happen, stories unfold, secrets reveal, lot of other things happen. No!
\nNo way I am giving out any spoilers here.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s that I loved so much about this book?<\/b><\/p>\n

Okay, so I have been struggling very hard to find some good
\nbooks which could make me read more books for a really long time. I did read some
\ngood books this year eventually, but this was game changer. I am now craving to
\nread more, and I hope that the next book I pick does not dump me back to my slump.<\/p>\n

A murder mystery well written which at-least I was not able
\nto predict at any given page or even line until the author wanted me to. The
\nmust have thing about thrillers and mysteries is they must be non-predictable.
\nI mean, there are of course some things as a reader that things to our mind
\nwhile reading such books, but the author took care of all of them quite
\ncleverly. It was definitely a page turner, nail biter (all the stuff)\u00a0 –\u00a0 one
\nwhich can bring to sleep deprived dark circles for a day or two. Then comes the
\ncharacters. Do I have a favorite character? Ummm \u2013 not really, but all the characters
\nhad their required sufficient details. The language as we already said is third
\nperson, was quite a breeze to read through. There were a lot of things which a
\nyoung adult reader will be able to relate to as well.<\/p>\n

There was particularly one instance in the story which I
\nwill not talk about made me wipe my tears and put the book down for 5-10
\nminutes \u2013 yes, I do cry while reading\u2026.<\/p>\n

To wrap it all, I really enjoyed reading this
\nbrilliantly written book and will be on my recommendations list for sure. Well
\ndone Pippa \u2013 wink wink.<\/span><\/p>\n
