This is a fun, quick read. I read Kill Joy after A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, and it was really interesting picking up on the little Easter eggs in the prequel! The audiobook runs the exact length of the game in the novella, which is a fun tidbit.

There's also a really good depiction of the fear of the dark and the unsettling feeling of being seen by someone/something unseen.

It's unsettling to see Elliott interacting with the kids, knowing what he's done. It's funny that Ravi was actually the inspiration for the incept on of Pip's capstone, after his joke at the end of the first book.

A quick and easy read! It provides you some basic insight into shat happened. Would recommend if you like AGGGTM. Not as good at the other books but still good!
