Cute and short prequel to the Good Girls Guide to Murder series. Good intro to the characters and allusions to the overarching character traits. Felt unresolved and short but it is a novella so.

THIS BOOK WAS SO NICE!?
I wasn't expecting anything spectacular from a novella, but wow I absolutely loved it. 
+ I would honetly say for the people who haven't read A Good Girls Guide To Murder, that they should read this first.

Such a fun short read. A great prequel to the trilogy!! 

Super fun mystery, game of Clue vibe. Also reminded me of the movie ‘Knives Out’. I really love Pip from the other books so I searched far and wide to get my hands on a copy of this book. Thank you eBay.

Perfect way to lead into A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder or even if you read this after the trilogy, it’s so interesting to see how Pip got into everything before diving into her search into the case of Andie Bell. But oh boy to know what happens at the end of the trilogy then reading this is CRAZY!!!!!! Loved it.
