Kill Joy – World Book Day 2021

a typical of holly jackson’s books: interview to all suspects, many multiple characters, and close relation crime cases. unfortunately, they didn't put many evidences like other books here.. this game has similar set like a movie called the menu on disney+ with different motives. everything will be seen as crystal clear and different if you already read the entire series so for me: it is okay if you want to take a shot with this book to start it all or simply want to know how pip chose her project since it's short and goofy (like always!)

I really enjoyed this novella and it made me want to do a murder game like this with my friends (whenever it's allowed again). I loved how intensive Pip was and how she wanted to be the one to solve the 'murder'. (view spoiler)[I'm actually kind of sad she was 'wrong' because I loved her solution way more than the actual solution of the game (hide spoiler)]. This actually made me want to reread the first two books, but I think I'll wait until the last one is out at least!

If you want some inside perspective on where pips obsession started, this is a must-read. Also a nice introduction on all of the characters by helping us get a feel for all of there personalities.

A prequel novella showing what inspired Pip's EPQ subject choice.

A nice, simple, easy, and quick read. It was great to see the interaction between Pip and her friends. I missed team Ravi and Pip, though!

Such a good prequel to the main series and major Knives Out vibes. I definitely think Pip was right!

It was so good to read about my favourite crush once again. Pippa is just too smart for her own good, I swear. I absolutely love her brain 😭

I love how the made sure to look into each clue and I also love how we find out what kick started her interest in Sal and Andies' case.

As for the plot, it was so well written, I was pretty hooked. Obviously it took me time to finish but that's because of everything that's going on.

But I thoroughly enjoyed this.

That assumption Pippa made was spectacular, haha.

I really liked this. The murder mystery case reminded me of the movie Knives Out but I loved that one so I obviously also loved this story.

Short but lots of fun. Pip is a really interesting character and I was excited to see how she realised she was passionate about solving mysteries. I also need to say that I SO WISH I had friends that would take part in murder dinner parties with me! The ending was great, I loved how (view spoiler)[Pip managed to solve the mystery by piecing together all the clues brilliantly. I was upset alongside her that the actual solution was instead so basic and simple, and I definitely prefer hers. (hide spoiler)] This made me really excited to read Good Girl, Bad Blood!

This is exactly what I was looking for when I picked this up. It was such a fun muder mystery!

Review to come!

A fun little read!

ok... A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is one of my FAV series, but this book was super unnecessary and I found it rather boring too because no actual crime happens - it's just a murder mystery game

This was so much fun, I've always wanted to do a murder mystery weekend and this definitely just made me want to even more. It was brilliant seeing Pip again and finding out where her project idea came from. I also love the little bonus bits we get hidden in there if you have already read the other books. Yet another brilliant story from Holly.
