She took her first stab at fiction writing at the age of 15, on a whim. After becoming enamored of several fantasy series, she explained, “I thought I would give it a go!” 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.
There was also a singular mention of Ravi and honestly? I screamed. I LOVE HIM SM 😩😩 Just that mention made me sooo giddy. Pip, our favorite teen detective from A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, is joining friends for an evening of sleuthing. They're having a murder mystery party set in the 1920s, complete with costumes and accents. And when someone "dies", there are plenty of clues and red herrings to cast suspicion in every which way. 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. This was sm fun!! 🤩🤩 I wasn't expecting too much bc it's super short, but it was waay better than I expected!! Just super fun and entertaining 💗💗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. Also, as an aside, is this sort of murder mystery game a real thing? Because I need it in my life pronto. 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. 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 🥰🥰 The organisation will send 15 million book tokens out to children across the country, enabling to get one of these exclusive books for free.

Ooohmgee…I am so throwing my own murder mystery party. I don’t know how, where or when. But. I will make it happen!!! This book will give you the answer to it. This is a prequel to the A Good girls guide to murder series. Throughout this entire book, I found myself laughing hysterically. Tears and all. 🥹🥹🥹. Just the disorganization of the party and how awful Pip, Cara, Conner, Zach, Lauren, Anthony, and Jamie were at playing their characters was both cute and hilarious. I also found myself gaining a much better understanding of Pip and her overall ability to solve murder cases.Have you ever wondered why the young Pippa Fitz-Amobi chose the Andi bell murder case for her final year Senior Capstone project? Overall, I enjoyed this sm more than I thought I would!! 😍 I would absolutely recommend if you loved the agggtm series and want more content. It's such a fun and genuinely clever story 💗💗 Reading this novella reminds me just how much I loved the original series. Pip is such a smart and spunky heroine, and it's thoroughly entertaining to follow along as she tries to figure out the killer. The way the clues are laid out and the setting of a remote island with a dysfunctional, wealthy family exude so much Agatha Christie vibes.
