Overview:
This two-book Collector's Edition brings together Holly Jackson's acclaimed YA mystery duo, pairing sharp prose with high-stakes investigative drama. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder introduces Pip Fitz-Amobi, a bright high school student who believes a town lid on a five-year-old homicide can still be lifted. The case of Andie Bell, murdered years ago, is treated as closed by authorities, but Pip’s diligent research reveals a string of concealed motives and dangerous truths. In Good Girl Bad Blood, Pip steps back from detective work, only to find herself drawn into another perilous mystery as a disappearance tests her resolve and trust in those she thought she knew. The hardback Collector's Edition format makes this set a striking keepsake for fans of twisty, contemporary mysteries with authentic teen voices. Both titles showcase brisk plotting, credible characters, and moral ambiguity that keeps readers guessing until the very end.

What This Collection Covers:
Across these two tightly wound novels, Holly Jackson explores truth, memory, and the cost of seeking justice. The collection centers on Pip’s evolving approach to investigation, balancing school pressures, friendships, and a growing public spotlight. The narratives interrogate the ethics of true-crime storytelling, the power of rumors, and how easily a community can protect its own by silencing uncomfortable facts. Readers will experience a modern mystery that blends clever clue-work with emotional realism, where every lead prompts a new question and every character carries a shadow of doubt. The set’s progression deepens Pip’s worldview—from a determined student with a plan to a young investigator confronting real consequences when secrets surface and loyalties are tested.

Book-by-Book Guide:
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

As she follows a trail of inconsistencies, she uncovers hidden motives, dangerous lies, and a cast of townsfolk whose facades crumble under scrutiny.

Pip’s voice is clear, witty, and stubbornly principled, making readers root for her even as the danger heights. The book’s steady unraveling of truth against a backdrop of personal stakes creates a satisfying arc that rewards careful reading and empathy for those swept up in the mystery.
