REVIEW⇢ A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER (A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER #1)

BY HOLLY JACKSON




    SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS⇣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.

      MY THOUGHTS⇣


      I'm never really disappointed by a full-cast narration.  It is the best.  The interview sections were amazing...I liked the way they sounded just like a recorded phone conversation.  Very realistic.

      Also, a mystery with layers never disappoints either.  This one had many curious layers to it.  The deeper she dug the more layers she uncovered.  Although, I hope...since this is to be a four-book series, that she stops making heedless choices when it comes to her sleuthing...if you're going to question a drug dealer, who you think may have committed murder...should you really go into his house to question him...by yourself?  She took a few too many chances if you ask me.  If she keeps that up, she isn't going to live through four more books.  That aside, the characters are genuine and that twisted ending took me completely by surprise.  It was slightly unbelievable, in an, it came out of nowhere kind of way, but for sure entertaining.
