Pip is not in the mood for her friend's murder mystery party. Especially one that involves 1920s fancy dress and pretending that their town is an island called Joy.

But as Pip plays detective, teasing out the identity of the killer clue-by-clue, the murder of the fictional Reginald Remy isn't the only case on her mind.

Gr 9 Up--This novella set in the A Good Girl's Guide to Murder world follows Pip to a murder mystery party! Reluctantly costumed in dapper 1920s attire, Pip might hate the concept of a costume party, but she can't help but get pulled into the fictional murder of Reginald Remy alongside her friends. The novella is short and fun, with much lower stakes than Jackson's readers are used to, but still feature her familiar quick pacing and twisting expectations to keep readers glued to the page. VERDICT The "Good Girls" trilogy has some voracious readers who might appreciate a low-key mystery. Recommended for additional purchase.
