Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson
4.0
This fun and easy sequel to “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” finds our heroine Pip once again embroiled in a mystery in her small town - this time, the disappearance of her best friend’s brother.
This book was a bit tighter and more straight forward - less side quests and dealing with pesky things like friends, family, school, and homework. Which, by the way, isn’t Pip a senior in high school? How is going to class mentioned like, a maximum of three times in this book?
Anyway, besides the point, I actually would love to hear a bit more about Pip’s life outside of solving mysteries, but this one was a satisfying and twisty read, where you really feel like you’re solving the disappearance alongside Pip, frustrations, epiphanies, and all. I still really like the style in how it’s told - a combination of narrative chapters, interviews, and her notes.
I wish that this one had a bit more at the end, it seems the author was in a rush to wrap things up and end the book when there was a lot more that could have been explored, including her relationships with her friends and family throughout the book, as well as reaction/responses to her season 2.
Overall, this book was enjoyable and I’m really looking forward to the rest of the series!
