I have heard of the series A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder before and when I saw this book on NetGalley and that it’s a prequel to the first in the series, I figured it would be a good place to start. Boy, was I wrong��
If you decide to start this series, do NOT start with this one. The whole book is a murder mystery party which is great and all but nothing happens aside from a bunch of kids playing a fake murder game. Maybe reading the rest of the series and falling in love with the characters would be great before picking this one up.
I could see that being thrilling for elementary to middle schoolers who don’t want to be too scared, but given all the drinking and swearing from a bunch of kids who can’t even drive yet, I am not completely sure who the audience for this particular book is even supposed to be targeted towards.
The characters and their murder mystery characters were also really tough to keep track of.
This would have been a DNF from me had it not been from NetGalley.
I’m still trying to figure out why this book was even needed.
A big thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
