I was so excited to get lost in Pip's world again, so I read this entire novella the day it came out.
I've had a few gripes about the series, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. My main issue being the elaborate confessions to freaking high school kids. But in Kill Joy we actually get to see these kids just being kids. It takes place in a single evening, an evening filled with mystery and murder. Well, in their game anyway.
Conner invited everyone over for a murder mystery party, think Clue but in real life. It's 1920's themed and on a private island, oh and everyone must come in their character's costume. Everyone takes their places at the table and the game begins. Reginald Remy is killed on his 74th birthday and now everyone at his party is considered a suspect.
In typical Pip fashion, she quickly starts taking in everything around her. The secrets begin unfolding before their very eyes and accusations begin flying. But Pip thinks she has it figured out. She quite literally has a mic drop moment at the table and everyone is stunned.
It was just such a fun read.
We got to read Pip's character clues and cues and kind of play along with the rest of them.
It starts as a kind of prequel to A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
Think of it as Pip's first clue into solving Andi Bell's murder.
Looking for the rest of the series?
