Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson
Mar. 30th, 2022 10:49 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Someone is missing. Nobody’s talking. But this time EVERYONE is listening …
Pip Fitz-Amobi is not a detective any more. Her true crime podcast about the murder case she solved last year has gone viral. Yet Pip insists her investigating days are behind her.
But she will have to go back on her word when someone close to her goes missing and the police can’t do anything about it. If they won’t investigate, then Pip will, uncovering more of her town’s dark secrets along the way. But will she find the answers before time runs out?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Holly Jackson’s YA thriller sequel accomplishes that rare feat of being an even better read. Jackson sensitively deals with the fall out from the first novel (for Pip and her friends and family) and then creates a new mystery that significantly overlaps with the first. I have some nitpicks (mainly around the rape trial but also some about Cara) but it is a genuinely gripping read and I am looking forward to the concluding book in this trilogy.
