In A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, Pippa Fitz-Amobi is trying to solve a closed murder case from five years ago, the death of Andie Bell. It is said that Sal, Andie's boyfriend, killed her and committed suicide after, but Pippa does not believe that to be true. Pippa was dedicated to finding out what really happened to Andie Bell and faced many challenges to uncover the secrets in her small town. I loved this book because it kept me turning the pages.
