A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson


“Everyone in Fairview knows the story.


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.” - taken from the front flap of the book.


This book reminded me of Sadie by Courtney Summers with some Karen McManus thrown in. I listen to the audio version of this book but it wasn't quite a full cast read like the above books mentioned. I enjoyed the mystery and was very surprised by the who done it at the end. The only problem I had with this title is how old Pippa is and how she was able to solve this five year-old mystery.
