🌸 ARIANA'S BOOK REVIEW 🌸

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Genre: Mystery, Young Adult, Thriller, Contemporary, Novella

📚 Synopsis: Pippa Fitz-Amobi is not in the mood for her friend’s murder mystery party. Especially one that involves 1920’s fancy dress and pretending that their town, Little Kilton, is an island called Joy. But when the game begins, Pip finds herself drawn into the make-believe world of intrigue, deception and murder.

But as Pip plays detective, teasing out the identity of the killer clue-by-clue, the murder of the fictional Reginald Remy isn’t the only case on her mind …

Find out where it all began for Pip in this prequel to the best-selling A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and Good Girl, Bad Blood.

📝 Review: In this prequel to the “A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder” series, Holly Jackson takes readers on a thrilling journey into the world of murder mysteries and fiction within fiction. The story centers around Pippa Fitz-Amobi, a character beloved by fans of the series, and gives us a deeper understanding of her origins and detective skills.

The premise of the book is absolutely captivating. The murder mystery party set in a 1920s world called Joy promises to be an immersive and enchanting experience. I could envision the elaborate costumes, the atmospheric setting, and the suspense hanging in the air. The combination of the murder mystery party with a fictional island creates a unique and intriguing backdrop for the story to unfold.

As Pip reluctantly takes part into the game, she finds herself quickly drawn into a web of intrigue and deception. What starts as a fun event soon transforms into a real-life investigation when a murder occurs within the game. I could sense the adrenaline pumping as Pip, driven by her natural detective instincts, becomes determined to uncover the truth behind the murder of Reginald Remy.

But it doesn’t stop there. “Kill Joy” introduces another mystery that captures Pip’s attention, leaving readers eager to unravel the secrets that lie beneath the surface of Little Kilton. This additional layer of suspense adds depth to the narrative and keeps the readers hooked, page after page.

What truly stands out in Jackson’s writing is her ability to create complex and relatable characters. Through Pip, readers are given a protagonist who is not only intelligent and resourceful, but also flawed and vulnerable. Her development throughout the book allows readers to form a strong connection with her, making every twist and turn in the plot all the more suspenseful.

Overall, “Kill Joy” is an enthralling read. With its immersive setting, intricate mysteries, and well-developed characters, it’s clear that Holly Jackson has crafted a prequel that will captivate fans of the “A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder” series and new readers alike.

I recently finished this book: Messenger of Fear, by Michael Grant. Some quick notes on those interested.

- Same incredible writing I’ve come to expect from Michael Grant. - Deceptively short, only 309 pages, had it finished in about 4 hours, though I do read quickly. - Some scenes of intense cruelty and violence and suicide so do be warned. - Made for a mature reader though I feel a person in their mid to early mid teens would get the most out of this book.
