I must admit, the kidnapping scene happened not where I thought it would in the book, and her managing to escape was quite far fetched, but I was still rather enjoying it nonetheless at that point. SHE MURDERED HIM! SHE ACTUALLY FRICKING KILLED HIM WITH A HAMMER DESPITE GETTING AWAY! Killed all of my love for Pip and the series. The mass plot twist around half way through that completely ruined my bookish LIFE for the past few years.

It was not a display of the Pippa Fitz-Amobi I knew.Īnd then came the twist. I must say that I disliked the fact that she still seemed to like Charlie, even after all of the PTSD Stanley’s death caused her and how much she was protesting him committing the act at the time. I was also completely on edge reading the scenes where he was near, such as the later stick figure scenes, Pip’s speakers sounding in the middle of the night and the printer going off as well. All of the links tying him to the other novels proved just how much thought had gone into everything and I was very impressed. Although I easily guessed who the DT Killer was (something I have never once done before with one of Jackson’s book), I was completely engrossed.

I wasn’t immensely intrigued to begin with, the writing a little repetitive and out of character, but I found it fine as I understand what Pip had been through after Stanley’s death and that she was obviously really struggling with PTSD, though her coping mechanisms were not AT ALL what I expected of her. If you love the characters, the ‘whodunnit’ style and overall the first two AGGGTM novels, I must ask that you NEVER DARE pick up or even go remotely near a copy of this book. I’m not sure I have ever hated a book as much. If I had known what I was getting hyped for, I wouldn’t have wasted my time. I have had it preordered for two months, had the release date written in all of my calendars and diaries and counted down the days with friends and family. I related to Pip so much as a character, and found the plot line and writing style absolutely phenomenal.īecause of this, it is pretty understandable that I was SUPER hyped for this release. Jackson’s writing was so well thought out, so thoroughly planned, it was beyond impressive. I am never done recommending it to people and talking praise about it. My hands are shaking in anger right now as I am writing this.Īs most people will know, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder has been my favourite book of all time ever since its release. I have never been more furious at a book.
