  GOOD GIRL, BAD BLOOD BY HOLLY JACKSON (Sequel to A Good Girl's Guide To Murder) 29/06/20 I like that the structure of this book is similar to the first one but a little bit more "updated" as the girl now has a podcast and there are pictures which brings the story to life a bit more. Something I find fun about these kind of investigative books is sometimes you the reader come up with ideas that the character hasn't thought of yet and it's fun to find out who's right because the author may lead you/the character down the wrong path before finding the right one. I think there were a lot more twists and turns in this one than the first book but I like that the story was a lot different. Different in a good way though, if you liked the first book, you'll like this one.

 A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER - HOLLY JACKSON 13/06/20 Innocent until proven guilty? I really enjoy mystery books like this because it makes you price up the clues and come.up with your own theories as to who did it, as well as following the ones that the characters come up with. And I love when things are suddenly thrown at you, that make your theories impossible. That being said, I've never read a book quite like this one where it's trying to prove innocent the murderer who the police believe was guilty. It's a very interesting concept for a book. I like the way that the pages are set up, some text conversations, some emails, some reports from.the investigation and then sort of "main story" pages where it's more of a narration of the character rather than in first person. It keeps the story very fresh and makes it easier to read. I could not put this book down, if I hadn't had any plans for the day, I definitely would have read this in one sitting! ...
