Good Girl, Bad Blood

Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson continues the addictive mystery that began in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, as Pip Fitz-Amobi once again finds herself drawn into a case that shocks her small town. Determined to leave detective work behind, Pip starts a podcast documenting her previous investigation—but when someone close to her goes missing, she can’t ignore her instincts.

Jackson crafts a tightly plotted young adult thriller filled with twists, secrets, and unexpected alliances. Through Pip’s sharp narration and relentless curiosity, the story explores justice, loyalty, and the blurred line between truth and obsession. The tension builds with each clue, drawing readers into a world where every answer leads to deeper questions.

Good Girl, Bad Blood is both a captivating crime novel and a portrait of a young woman coming to terms with fear, responsibility, and the price of uncovering the truth. Smart, fast-paced, and emotionally resonant, it cements Holly Jackson’s reputation as one of the best voices in contemporary YA mystery fiction.
