I loved this book. It was a thrilling mystery that had me on the edge on my seat. The main character, Pippa (Pip) solved the case of the disappearance of Andie Bell and the murder of Sal Singh last year. With the help of Ravi Singh she released a podcast about the murder case. When Pip is sure that her detective days are over someone close to her goes missing and she will have to break that promise. Holly Jackson writes in a way that compelled me to keep on reading. She creates sympathy for Jamie Reynolds (the missing person) while keeping the reader on edge as Pip finds out dark secrets and truths not just about Jamie Reynolds but about herself as well.

I liked this book because this is a mystery book and I love how mature it is for older readers. My favourite character is Pippa Fitz-Anobi because I love her determination. I would recommend this book to any budding detectives so they can discover the dangers of the job.

Once again, a great book by Holly Jackson, a thrill ride and more. There were more graphic descriptions in this one which were interesting. I would say for about ages 13/14 years up.

After solving the Andie Bell case last year and being in grave danger Pip has told everyone she won't do detective work anymore. However, that changes when her best friend's brother goes missing. Jamie Reynolds , 24 , mysteriously disappears after Andie/Sal's memorial. Since the police are taking no action Pip realises she has to dig deeper even though there will be many dangers and it could mean that anone close to hear can get dangerously hurt or even worse, killed... Join Pip in the sequel to A Good Girls Guide to Murder where many secrets are unveiled! Since I read the first book I felt especially interested to read this novel. I think Mystery books are really interesting to read and I would tell anyone who hasn't read books like this one to read it. I think my favourite character was Pip because she's really brave to forget the dangers she could be in to help a person close to her and from he I learnt that you should always forget your fears and be confident... DON'T FOGET TO READ THE FIRST BOOK!

It was a slow burner so took a while to get into but once it got into gear it was really good and I couldn’t put it down. My fave character is Ravi. I’m not sure how I feel about pip.

YA murder fiction. A little predictive in places but a good read.

I thought that this book was really good, I rate it 5/5. It was a true mystery and it was a very good story that really did intrigue me!! I think that Holly Jackson’s other book “a good girls guide to murder” came before this book and this book maybe gave some hints away!! I would definitely recommend!!

This is one of my absolute favourite books and i recommend for you to read it. My favourite genre of books is murder mystery and this is one of the best. If you want to read the first one it is called a good girls guide to murder and i would recommend it or 11 and over. Any gender could read it and personally I like this one better than the first one.
