I’ve been on a big thriller kick these days, and found A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder to be a perfect summer read that kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat. Geared towards both young adult and adult readers, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is a fun read that isn’t too gory, nor is it too simple with an easy-to-predict storyline. 
 
Five years ago, Andie Bell was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh. But main character and high school student Pip is convinced that Sal is innocent. Using her senior capstone project as her platform, Pip reexamines the murder case on her own terms. This one also include a murder map (I love a good murder map), great text and phone conversations, and documents that make you feel like you are working alongside Pip. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is one that you should pick up if you are looking for something quick and fun.
