“What do you do when the things that are supposed to protect you, fail you like that?” – 5/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: missing knives, catfishes, graveyards, pink watches, calamity parties, fitbits, photographs, search teams, podcast episodes, leads, alibis, witnesses, recorded interviews, bordeaux shirts and new mysteries.

The highly anticipated sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder! More dark secrets are exposed in this addictive, true-crime fueled mystery.

Pip is not a detective anymore.

With the help of Ravi Singh, she released a true-crime podcast about the murder case they solved together last year. The podcast has gone viral, yet Pip insists her investigating days are behind her.

But she will have to break that promise when someone she knows goes missing. Jamie Reynolds has disappeared, on the very same night the town hosted a memorial for the sixth-year anniversary of the deaths of Andie Bell and Sal Singh.

The police won’t do anything about it. And if they won’t look for Jamie then Pip will, uncovering more of her town’s dark secrets along the way… and this time everyone is listening. But will she find him before it’s too late?

The only question here is: will this series ever disappoint me? This is the third book I have read from the series (including the first novella) and I also gave it five stars.

I really liked how the story picks up right after the end of the first book. It was unexpected because I thought this would be about an entire new mystery, but there are a lot of references to what happened to the first book. With that said, I highly recommend you to read the first book first and this one afterwards. The books are strongly connected and you won’t understand what they’re talking about if you mess up with the order.

I liked Pip as always, I think she’s a fantastic main character. I know she is known for being a bit annoying and a know-it-all, but I admire her perseverance and courage.

The mystery is also incredible, just like in the first book. If you liked A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, you will also love this book because the mysteries were made in a very  similar way. There’s a lot of twists and new leads in every chapter, so you will be hooked to the story the entire time –  like I was. 

I also highly recommend the audiobook version for the series –  not only just this book. There are a lot of interviews and podcast episodes, and the full cast of voices and sound effects really makes the story shine and gives it a new dimension. I would recommend the audiobook over the digital/physical copies.

If you haven’t read the series yet, you are sleeping on it! It’s one of the best young adult mystery series out there. I can’t recommend it enough, you won’t regret picking it up I promise.
