THE PREQUEL TO THE MUST-LISTEN MULTIMILLION BESTSELLING MYSTERY SERIES—NOW ON NETFLIX!

You’re invited to the murder mystery party of the year! Fans of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder will love Pip’s final detective case in this mystery novella from #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Jackson.

Six suspects. Three hours. One murder…

Pip is not in the mood for her friend’s murder mystery party. Especially one that involves 1920’s fancy dress and pretending that their town is an island called Joy. But when the game begins, Pip finds herself drawn into the make-believe world of intrigue, deception and murder.

But as Pip plays detective, teasing out the identity of the killer clue-by-clue, the murder of the fictional Reginald Remy isn’t the only case on her mind …

Although this book was short, I enjoyed the storyline. It was captivating and very well written. A good girls guide to murder was a good book as well which is why I got this one. It starts before book one, and it dips into the series as a whole and gives you a hint of what the book one would be about. this book was also very engaging and I enjoyed the different voices and characters. It introduces new characters that are introduced in the first book and on through the series, and it gives you a hint of who they are, and what part they play in the future books. I highly recommend this book to start off the series of a good girls guide to murder 10 out of 10 would recommend. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Short and sweet

If you haven’t read the Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series, read this one first. I still really enjoyed it, but it was harder to fully enjoy knowing what I knew about all the characters after reading all the other books.

Read this one first!

I always love listening to Pip solve a mystery! This one fell a little flat for me because of where it falls one the AGGGTM timeline. If they story was more fresh in my mind it probably would have gotten more stars from me! Will always be a fan of Pip and Holly Jackson!

Can’t get enough of Pip

Good short story but the ending wasn’t for me. She should have stopped sooner in my opinion.

We the fans of this series and novella need more pip! The story deserves more! Though it has ended nicely I still can’t help but wonder what will happen next with pip and where will her trauma take her. Holly Jackson is an incredible writer and I can’t wait to read more of her books!

There needs to be more Pip

I've previously read AGGGTM trilogy and came back for this beauty! I was really hesitant to listen to this one because of some of the reviews I'd seen. People thinking it was a waste of their time, it didn't add to the story, etc. But honestly, I thought it was really cool!! There were sooooo many innuendos! I also think it did add to the story, I learned how Pip came to the decision to investigate Sal and Andie! I highly recommend this light and quick read!

ALL the innuendos!
