A thrilling prequel story to the bestselling, award-winning A Good Girl's Guide to Murder!

Kill Joy

Julieze

Litteraly the best book I ever read. (Litteraly) I have read the entire book series and nothing compares to this.

Welcome to the murder mystery party of the year! Fans of the hit series A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder will love Pip’s final detective case in this mystery novella from #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Jackson. Six suspects. Three hours. One murder… Pip 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 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,Good Girl, Bad Blood and As Good As Dead. Previously published in 2021 as a World Book Day title.

Ummmm okay I slept on this series for far to long - I can’t wait to get into the rest of it!!!

Excellent quick read, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It was refreshing, but I must say, I did not liked the end that much. I also loved all the little references it made for the good girl trilogy, never get bored of Holly.

This was like Clue meets Knives Out! It's soo good! Plus, Pip's theory of who killed Reginald makes more sense than that stupid game's answer! Pip can be so intense here and a little annoying, but I don't know she's cool still. And what's up with Ant and Cara, jeez! Also, Jamie can get it! I love him!

Look I honestly don’t think this book is necessary at all for the series. BUT it was FUN and after finishing the series a few months ago, I missed this world and the characters, and I’m sad that it’s truly done now. Also fun to see the characters before the series truly starts 🫢

This was a fun little novella! I’m so happy I read it last after the disaster of book 3. This is the Pip I know and love and the character she was always meant to be. This concept was very unique and fun and makes anyone to also do one!

I was criminally bored till page 90, loved cara though

Super fun to get into and a great way to get back into a world I was deeply missing. I really loved being able to read this back into the series and truly understanding the timeline of events. Really gave me more clarity, which is cool especially after already finishing the series. There were a couple of scary moments that I wasn't expecting but I definitely appreciated for this little, Clue-esque murder mystery party.

Great intro to the GGGTM trilogy. Was it necessary? Nope. Was it good? Yes, but it could’ve been better.
Although it’s not obligatory to read it (because this is just Pip playing a mystery game with her friends), in this short novella of less than a hundred pages you can take a peek of how the main character likes to solve mysteries and how/why she decided to solve the case of Andie Bell for her school project (which is the main plot of the first book). It was a really fast read so I recommend it to anyone who wants to start these books.

Very fast paced- perfect set up for the series

Literally the perfect set up for the series

Cute little addition to the series live the foreshadowing in it and to finally know exactly why she chose that topic all just because she doesn’t like to be wrong

           Perfect prequel! Very fast-paced!
It introduces me to know more about the friend group (including Zach and Jamie). When I read book 2, I kinda felt estranged from Jamie (like, who is he?), but now it’s more understandable why Pip seems so close to him.

* Still hate Ant and Lauren btw. I will never forgive and never forget.

Love, love, love this series!❣️

I was able to read this for free thanks to Net Galley, although that does not affect my opinion of the actual book. I absolutely love Holly Jackson and the series about Pippa, so as soon as I discovered this prequel novella, I was stoked. Because this was just a novella, it was pretty short and truthfully, I don’t think it was really necessary as it maybe mentioned one helpful thing about what would come in the next three books. It was fun to read about Pippa again though, and to take part in the little murder mystery party. There just wasn’t anything memorable about it.

omgggg this book was such a good short read, i read it in one sitting! the parallels between some events in this book and the agggtm series were just 😱😱 (at the end when elliot ward thought he saw a figure in the dark but it was ravi and he must’ve thought it was sal for a moment). this book was a great add on to the series, with pips character having the same quirks! i loved this book SO much

Super fun. Short easy read. Makes me wish I had friends to host a murder mystery party.

           Very good. A wonderful prelude to the good girls guide to murder book! Plus, I agree with Pip. Bobby was the killer :)

Amazing all the way through but the ending was disappointing, Pop thought the same tho ahah
