‘A good girl’s guide to murder’ By Holly Jackson – A BOOK REVIEW

By Avrita Dang

I’ve been reading books since I was 8 years old. I’ve transitioned from reading picture books to novels with pictures to full-fledged novels. My actual reading obsession started after reading Percy Jackson and the Olympian series by Rick Riordan. I was so obsessed with his books that now I have all the books written by that author, and I am currently following the journey of the new books that he is writing.

I have also started exploring new genres like fantasy, fiction, thriller, etc. I started reading murder mysteries just a while back with the book by Karen M. McManus called ‘One of us is lying,’ which was awesome. This book led me to read its sequel and another book written by the same author. As I was exploring new books in the same genre, I decided to give ‘A good girl’s guide to murder’ a chance.

This book is 5 out of 5 for me. It has mystery and keeps you on the edge of your seat. And once I picked it up, it was really hard for me to put it down. It compels you to think about who is the killer. It has 2 sequels and 1 prequel. There are 3 parts within the book. The clues and interviews of the suspects are in log entries.
