I loved the first book already, but this was somehow even better? I liked the inner monologue Pip had, and how you could see the change in her as the book went on.

I think this book was another interesting read. In my opinion, it wasn't as good as its predecessor, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, but it's definitely worth the read.
My only recommendation is to read the novella, Kill Joy, because you get to know Jaime in there and you don't get to see his character much or it all in the first book.

Jos tykkäsit sarjan ensimmäisestä osasta, tykkäät todennäköisesti tästäkin. Mutta jos et tykännyt, kirjassa on samoja ongelmia kuin edellisessäkin. 

Kirjassa seurataan taas Pipiä, joka ensimmäisen tapauksen ratkaistaan on tehnyt siitä podcastin. Podcastissa seurataan myös edellisen kirjan tapahtumien seurauksena käynnistynyttä oikeudenkäyntiä. Eräs Pipin ystävä Connor pyytää häntä auttamaan kadonneen veljensä löytämiseksi. Tästä käynnistyy uusi tutkimusretki pikkukaupungin salattuun elämään. 

Kirjassa on pitkälti sama hahmokaarti kuin edellisessä osassa, ja sen tapahtumiin viitataan usein. Hahmot jäävät hieman pintapuoliseksi, koska tutkimuksiin sukelletaan niin innolla. 

Edellisen osan arvosteluissa nostettiin esille se, miten Pip ei joutunut koskaan hankaluuksiin virkavallan kanssa toteuttaessaan yksityisiä tutkimuksiaan. Samaa on havaittavissa myös tässä osassa, mutta koska tapahtumat etenevät sujuvasti ja kirja etenee hyvin, ei se suoraan sanottuna haittaa. 

Jos kirjan tapahtumia ei lue turhan ryppyotsaisesti, ovat Holly Jacksonin kirjat hyvää viihdettä.
