Really wish the author hadn't killed the dog though, I hate when books have animal deaths it's the absolute worst.
Just when I thought I had it figured out, you get hit with more twists! Pip is so bright and witty, excited to continue reading the series.

Throughout this book, I found I didn’t really connect with the characters all that much, and the plot was sort of predictable. The set-up felt kind of cliche, and it missed some sort of flair, that makes me these types of books readable to me.
This book as I said, wasn’t for me, but I can definitely see how this might be someone’s ‘cup of tea’ so-to-speak. It was really well-written, and from a distant sort of standpoint, I can see the appeal in this book.
So if you’re mulling over reading this book (and if you love crime/mystery), don’t let this review stop you!

That’s what happened to me. I started reading a good girls guide to murder and then I was like wait why do I feel like I know what’s going to happen.
Then, I realized I’ve read the book already but it was before I started keeping track of my ratings.
I’m watched a YouTube video that breaks down the book because I don’t exactly remember the details but I remember thinking it was an interesting style of writing and the plot twist of the actual killer did kind of get me. I can’t rate this book that highly because I did forget I read it.
I do have the second book, which I’m sure I haven’t read yet and the positive reviews of this series also make me want to continue.
