This fantastic little prequel is just what mystery lovers need, at whatever point they are at in the series. As part of the World Book Day books for 2021, Holly Jackson has written this lovely little prequel, which is a nice little snippet of Pippa before the release of the final book of the trilogy later this year. I’ve done a murder mystery party before, albeit years ago, and I’d like to hope that my brain is somewhere near as sharp as Pip’s. Find out where it all began for Pip in this prequel to the best-selling A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, Good Girl, Bad Blood and As Good As Dead.

As Good As Dead is a phenomenal YA mystery that deserves to be one of the books of the year and provides a stellar finale to a knockout series.

Though Jackson said she was honored to contribute a book to World Book Day, the opportunity created a bit of a conundrum. This will be a quick little review because this book is a lovely little novel, set prior to the events of A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder. As Pip plays detective, she must solve the fictional murder case of Reginald Remy, all the while keeping an eye on the reality of the situation.

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. But as Pip plays detective, teasing out the identity of the killer clue-by-clue, the murder of the fictional Reginald Remy isnâ?

Though the end of the game wasn’t huge, I got a kick out of Pip and her defeat and how she handled it. Pipp and her friends have a murder mystery dinner party, where each of them plays a different character and they collect clues to find out who the killer is.
