I really enjoyed this novella. I thought it was a fun light read and it still kept me reading.
It's best to be read after you read A Good Girl's Guide to Murder since this novella doesn't require any characterization after you read the first book. I thought the murder mystery dinner was a great a light thought-experiment to get Pip into solving murders and how she thinks.
Just to be clear, the novella is not really connected to the series other than characters from A Good Girl's Guide to Murder are in there and it shows what sparks Pip's idea for her senior project.
