A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (Jackson) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Jackson sprinkles the fast-paced narrative with Pip’s notes, project logs, and interview transcripts—as well as several cleverly placed red herrings—…[and] caps her suspenseful, well-plotted mystery with a few twists readers likely won’t see coming (Ages 14–up).
Publishers Weekly


Jackson wonderfully crafts the mystery so that readers can create their own hypotheses as Pip puts the pieces together—but they won't find out the truth until she does.… A wonderful addition to any library collection (Gr. 9–up). —Amanda Borgia, Uniondale Public Library, NY
SchoolLibrary Journal


Fans of true crime will be hooked by the hunt for a killer, but there’s more to this Guide than just a whodunit. It’s a story of families, community and the ways a crisis can turn them against one another in the blink of an eye.

Pip's sleuthing is both impressive and accessible.… Jackson's debut is well-executed and surprises readers with a connective web of interesting characters and motives.…  A treat for mystery readers who enjoy being kept in suspense (Young Adult).
