A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson is such a great story! I loved this one and can't really say enough good things about it.  I love a good mystery and this one fits the bill.  This story had me gasping out loud (and cussing) on multiple occasions.  If you are looking for a fun, fast-paced, and intense novel, this one is perfect!

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is the story of Pippa, a high school senior who is starting her senior project.  She has decided she is going to take on the case of Andie Bell, a high school senior who was murdered five years ago.  Andie's boyfriend Sal is the presumed killer since he didn't have an alibi and ended up killing himself just days after her disappearance.  But Pippa is convinced Sal is innocent and has decided her senior project is going to prove it.  But as she dives deeper in to the case, she realizes that her investigation may be more dangerous than she ever would have guessed.  As she pushes on, she finds that the answers to the case may be more devastating than she ever could have imagined. 

From Amazon:

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

For readers of Kara Thomas and Karen McManus, an addictive, twisty crime thriller with shades of Serial and Making a Murderer about a closed local murder case that doesn't add up, and a girl who's determined to find the real killer--but not everyone wants her meddling in the past.


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.
