Short AF Book Review | As Good As Dead

Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "As Goof As Dead" by Holly Jackson. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Goodreads synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers so please keep that in mind! Even more so as this is the third and final book in the series.)

"The final to A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series. By the end of this mystery series, you'll never think of good girl's the same way again...

Pip is about to head to college, but she is still haunted by the way her last investigation ended. She's used to online death threats in the wake of her viral true - crime podcast, but she can't help noticing an anonymous person who keeps asking her: Who will look for you when you're the one who disappears?

Soon the threats escalate and Pip realizes that someone is following her in real life. When she starts to find connections between her stalker and a local serial killer caught six years ago, she wonders if maybe the wrong man is behind bars.

Police refuse to act, so Pip has only one choice: find the suspect herself - or be the next victim. As the deadly game plays out, Pip discovers that everything in her small town is coming full circle... and if she doesn't find the answers, this time she will be the one who disappears..."

So the reason I wanted to read "As Good As Dead" is obviously because I loved the other two books in the series, but what really pushed me is the TV show is finally out! Friends, I know I've said this before with the last book but I really did not know how Holly was going to continue from the last two books. When I tell you I was trembling from anticipation throughout the entire book I am not lying, my hands were literally shaking (more than they usually do) whilst I was reading. I was not expecting the story to unfold the way that it did at all and it really had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Every moment I could feel myself feeling all of the emotions that Pip would be during that time. If she was anxious, I was anxious, her happy moments, made me happy and Holly does such a good job of putting you in those moments that Pip is having. I finished this book in 2 days and that's the quickest I've gone through a story in these last couple of months, I could not put it down. Friends, if you want an emotional rollercoaster of a mystery series I would 100% recommend the "A Good Girl's Guide To Murder" series and I will absolutely be binging the tv series now!

I gave this book a 5/5 star rating on Goodreads.

What did you think of this book? Who were your favourite or least favourite characters? Do you have any books you'd recommend for me to read and do a review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Have a wonderful day!

Love, Doe
