A wonderful short story with a fun mystery and a great look back at AGGGTM's lovable cast of characters. I really liked the slow twisting together of clues and trying to solve the mystery along with Pip. It also did a good job of showing her get into mystery-solving, even if it didn't give her REAL motivation for the Andie Bell case like I thought it would. It was very Pip. The only negative point for me was that they kept switching between their real names and their fake character names and it confused me lol.

Also Pip's answer was so good and true. Though I kind of knew it was too complicated for a murder mystery game. I liked it wayyyy better.

The main characters play a murder mystery game that involves murder, blood, affairs, drugs, gambling, etc.. Even in the book it is all fictional, nothing happens to the main characters. In their real-world, one character drinks and they make references to a murder that happened in their town.

I liked this novella. I'm glad I read it after the rest of the series. I feel like it makes more sense this way. 

It was fun trying to find the murderer. I was going in the same direction as Pip. 

I liked how it introduced the rest of the series.

I don’t think this novella is very necessary except for the last chapter but I liked knowing why Pip chose Andie and Sal’s case for her project

Only Holly Jackson would have the skill to make a lighthearted murder mystery party such an engaging story. Such a fun addition to the GGGTM series
