Good Girl’s Guide to murder is a YA mystery novel. It would be recommended for ages 12-16. I know some people read more mature so also that.
Triggers –
-Swearing
-Some explanation of murder
Summary:
Pippa Fitz-Amobi is a senior in high school and for her capstone project she decided to solve a murder case. The case of Andrea Bell. Andie was murdered and her boyfriend of the time was projected as the murderer. But Pippa didn’t believe that. She thought that there was more to the case. She wanted to bring justice…and show that even though the town of Fairview thought Salil Singh was Andie’s killer, there was something hidden within that they hadn’t found.
Character Development:
Pippa – I feel like in some way she’s just like me. Introverted, trying to just stay out of the crowd and staying on top of everything. The way she wanted to bring justice for the Singh family was *chefs kiss* I loved her character in general.
Ravi – Pippa’s partner in crime. Though him and Pippa did romantically love each other, I like that the author didn’t focus on that, instead the actual story. Ravi was Sal’s brother. (Sal was the boy who was thought as the murder)
Other characters: They were portrayed well. They weren’t completely black and white,
and they had some development.
(I have a strong hatred for Max and Daniel :D)
Plot:
I loved it and it didn’t just stray and go off topic. I appreciate that a lot from an author. The plot was well thought out and it didn’t seem to be written by a ten-year-old (*cough* twilight *cough*) The romance like I mentioned wasn’t the main point but it was cute.
Overall rating out of 100 – 94/100. One of my favourite YA’s so far, definitely would recommend
