Loved this!!! There were good plot twists, the characters were fun, and I really liked the light romance between Pip and Ravi. I've found myself getting tired of romance that feels shoehorned into books, so this was a welcome surprise. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder was hard to put down, and I flew through it. The incorporation of mixed media was a nice touch. Really the only reason I'm taking half a star off is because the dog dies. I also thought there was going to be something up with the owner of the Ivy House not having amnesia, and her grandson was Henry Hill, so I thought he was going to turn out to be HH, but I was clearly wrong.
