A review by bookstorian
As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson

5.0

The third installment of Holly Jackson's 'As Good As Dead' was a welcome and thrilling story that hauled me out of my reading slump and left my heart racing. This series honestly just got better and better for me with each book. 

Dealing with trauma of recent events Pip, host of 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' podcast finds herself closer to the action than ever before. Now she must discover who continues to leave subtle and disarming messages before she is as good as dead herself. 

While there wasn't as many photos, podcast transcripts and evidence logs I really enjoyed this darker, more mature version of the series. Pip's resourcefulness, inquisitiveness and iron clad relationships are abundantly clear but so is her vulnerability.  There were many twists, turns and shocking revelations, you were well and truly in the action, it was different, detailed and unique and a real page turner, I stayed up fair too late, desperate to know where the plot was going. 

Although the ending was a tad dramatic, I'm sad that this series has drawn to a close many loose ends were tied in the name of justice, I really want to know what becomes of Pip in the future so hoping we eventually get a reprise of her. But a Netflix series would satisfy the hunger for more in the mean time.  If you love a thriller and a strong, stubborn protagonist I highly recommend this series.
