About this deal

Have you ever wondered why the young Pippa Fitz-Amobi chose the Andi bell murder case for her final year Senior Capstone project? Small towns come with their advantages and their disadvantages. They’re usually pretty sleepy, without high incidences of crime. Everyone seems to know each other, probably because they do. You know everyone in town, but the downside of it is that everyone knows you. Sometimes things get a little complicated and shook up when a crime is committed, and everyone in the community starts to feel unsafe for what seems like the first time in years. okay so this wasn’t a bad start to the series. however i wasn’t a big fan of this novella. i thought that pip acted superior compared to her friends at times and it was kinda annoying. another thing was how she criticized everyone in this book, from the character she played to her friends and their roles. also she was lowkey a sore loser towards the end of her game, but i do see that her theory was very well thought out! i loved the side characters within this book. they made the game fun and the funny scenes between some of the characters made the book better for me. i’m not exactly the biggest fan of pip yet, but i do hope that will change once i read the series. not to mention pip missed the point of the game, which was to have fun, and it felt as though she didn’t want to interact with any of them despite being their friend. she was quiet pretty much the entire game but i liked how the banter between her friends remained. There was also a singular mention of Ravi and honestly? I screamed. I LOVE HIM SM 😩😩 Just that mention made me sooo giddy.

Side note: I also listened to the audiobook and that was great too!! 🎧💖 Would recommend that format- it was a really fun story to just pop on when I also wanted to do something else at the same time 🥰🥰 It is also the publication of my sequel in the United States AND I have an encroaching deadline for the edits on the third and final book in my YA Crime Thriller series A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. So it is all go go go on the work front. And in my personal life, I’ve literally just moved house so I am also on a very steep DIY learning curve, and don’t currently have any furniture! So lots of exciting things going on, but I am looking forward to a time when life has calmed down a tad and I can chill (and own a sofa on which to do said chilling). Later, she attended the University of Nottingham, where she first studied literary linguistics and creative writing, [2] graduating with a first class degree, [1] then graduating with a master's degree in English. [2] Literary career [ edit ]She decides that the only way to do this is to put on a podcast and talk about it. Pippa’s able to make the true crime podcast with Ravi’s assistance, and it’s out just a short time before going viral. Now Pippa has not only something to say, but more followers than ever. Claustrophobic murder mystery game was also entertaining. The plotline reminds us “And Then There Were None” meets Clue. The events take place in an island called Joy where can be reached with only on boat that ships specific scheduled time. Reginald Remy, the patriarch of the Remy family and owner of the Remy Hotels and Casinos empire in London. He’s found dead in his study. There are six people in the house during the murder time. I will say, I don't generally gravitate towards novellas (or short stories, for that matter). It's because I find them to be a bit unsatisfying. Just as you're getting into the whole thing, it's already over. And it felt a bit like that here. I wanted more. More of the murder, more of the solving, more of the explanation. But I suppose it's better to end up wanting more than wanting less, so that's a small complaint. We know you started writing from a young age, what would your advice be to anyone who would like to start writing? A Good Girl's Guide to Murder was named one of the best books of 2020 by Barnes and Noble [1] and received the following accolades:

I read the whole AGGGTM series last year and LOVED it (despite having mixed feelings on the third one), and I've been meaning to get to it for a while- and I'm soooo glad I finally did!! 🥳 While it was super short, it managed to be so entertaining and fun and reminded me of my love for agggtm 💖 The crime thriller was published in the United Kingdom as well as the United States. In the process of its burgeoning popularity, it was translated into different languages so that it could be read by various readers all across the world. The sequel would come out in 2020 and is titled Good Girl, Bad Blood. Good Girl, Bad Blood is the second novel in the Guide to Murder series and the exciting followup to the first story. One of them is killer. Pip plays Celia Bourne, estranged and neglected niece of Remy, working in London as a governess to a well-off family. The other suspects are children of Remy: Bobby( elder son), Ralph ( younger son), Lizzie ( Ralph’s wife), Humphrey the devoted butler, Dora the new cook. The investigation conducted by Howard Whey played by Jamie , one of their hosts and big brother of Connor. ( You may recognize those names if you read the first book of the series)But as Pip plays detective, teasing out the identity of the killer clue-by-clue, the murder of the fictional Reginald Remy isn’t the only case on her mind … Their plates were empty all apart from Pip’s because there had been too much thinking to do to concentrate on eating.” Since this is just a pretend murder, the stakes are low. It feels more cozy than suspenseful, but the book does a nice job of injecting some dark atmosphere into the mix, so it's still quite riveting. In fact, I had trouble putting it down and breezed through the whole thing in about two hours. i feel like the book played too much into the role of celia and while some ppl might like that, all i read abt was constant criticizing and how pip wouldn't do things her character did or working out the details of celia's life to prove she wasn’t the killer. she got too eager when she played the game and it was to the point where she forgot abt the other ppl and stopped seeing them as her friends. pip gave off introverted vibes which i usually don’t mind in a book, but in a group setting differs when u choose to be isolated. this might be a personal irk thing for me tho

Though Kill Joy features the same protagonists who appear in the trilogy—comprising A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (2019), Good Girl, Bad Blood (2020), and As Good as Dead (2021)—the book was an unanticipated add-on to the series, due to its serendipitous raison d’être.
