4.0

The narrator for Pip got annoying. I think it was a combination of her character and the way the narrator tried to portray her that got me irritated. The story in this book was alright, but didn't appeal to me as much as the first book. There were definitely more twists and turns that made it exciting.

I do not like Ant and Lauren.

Amazing book! Adventurous but you have to read the first book to understand a few things. Suspenseful and had me reading till 12:30 last night! Amazing plot and amazing characters.

2nd book in the good girls guide to murder series! A great page-turner with suspense and mystery. I'm constantly trying to figure out the case with Pip which is great fun. This one was quite sad in the end though :'(
