Kill Joy

On a whim, I decided to request a ARC of Holly Jackson's "Kill Joy" from Netgalley. Low and behold, I was rewarded with my very own advanced reader's copy! For those of you living under a rock, "Kill Joy" is the prequel to the Good Girls Guide To Murder series; it debuts on February 28, 2023.

["Pippa Fitz-Amobi is not in the mood for her friend’s murder mystery party. Especially one that involves 1920’s fancy dress and pretending that their town, Little Kilton, is an island called Joy. But when the game begins, Pip finds herself drawn into the make-believe world of intrigue, deception and murder.

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 …"]

This book was sooooo good! It hinted at the original series in many ways. Obvious ones: talking about the case and how Andie Bell was supposedly murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh before he killed himself. Less obvious ones: the outcome of the murder mystery and how it's not as it seems and how Pippa saw it even if no one else did (and the outcome of that murder mystery?!?! Holy. Shit.).

This book is a novella, it's about 120 pages long, and it's a great read on a cold morning (and an excuse to stay under a blanket with some cocoa for a couple of hours). You neeeeeed to pre-order this book NOW!
