A Good Girl's Guide to MurderRandom House, 2021. 389 pages. Young Adult
Pretty and popular high school senior Andie Bell was
murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then killed himself. It was all
anyone could talk about. And five years later, Pip sees how the tragedy still
haunts her town. But she can't shake the feeling that there was more to what
happened that day. She knew Sal when she was a child, and he was always so kind
to her. How could he possibly have been a killer? Now a senior herself, Pip
decides to reexamine the closed case for her final project, at first just to
cast doubt on the original investigation. But soon she discovers a trail of
dark secrets that might actually prove Sal innocent . . . and the line between
past and present begins to blur. Someone in Fairview doesn't want Pip digging
around for answers, and now her own life might be in danger. This is the story
of an investigation turned obsession, full of twists and turns and with an
ending you'll never expect.
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is a twisting and turning murder mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end. Pip is a lovable character who I admired and rooted for throughout the story. She bravely fought for a worthy cause in a town that was content with an incomplete resolution to a murder case. I particularly appreciate stories that champion the underdog and strive for justice, and this one certainly delivers on that front. Once you're done reading you can go check out the TV series based on the book on Netflix!
