Tonight I turned on Netflix and there it was as a mini series, The Good Girls Guide to Murder. What a surprise, I had just read the book . The TV series is not bad, a good replica of the book. The book is also a very good read. Holly Jackson is the author.
The story of a group of high school kids who take things a little too far. When a girl goes missing from the gang, another boy, Sal Singh, who was her latest boyfriend is targeted for possibly killing her. Feeling he has no alibi and his friends seem to have turned against him, he confesses and then takes his own life. The town continues to ostracize his family.
But there is one young girl, Pip, who remembers the boy as kind and thinks he was innocent. Now five years alter as she is graduating from high school she decides to investigate and prove the young man’s innocence to clear his name, as her senior project.
Pip enlists Sal’s brother to help her figure out all the facts and put together all the clues. Through many twists and turns, threats and secrets, Pip figures out what happened that evening five years ago.
This book is a well written intriguing novel. Written for teen readers, but also good for adult readers.
