Kill Joy by Holly Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
**3.5-stars rounded up**
Kill Joy is a super cute prequel novella in Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series.
The events of this story all take place on one night and it’s a fun night indeed. The setting, a Murder Mystery Party hosted by Pippa’s friend, Connor, and his brother, Jamie.
If you’ve read the entire series, you may recognize these two names from Book 2, Good Girl, Bad Blood.
I am huge fan of this series and was very happy to get to spend a night with Pip and her friends. Do I think this is necessary content? No, I don’t, but for long-time fans of the series, it’s enjoyable content.
Not only is it a quick, fun read, I also definitely walked away with a better understanding of Pip’s inspiration for her Capstone Project, the impetus for all the action in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.
Thank you to the publisher, Delacorte Press, for providing me with a copy to read and review. I will never turn down a story featuring Pippa Fitz-Amobi.
