WOAH……WHAT DID I JUST READ? This was my first ever murder mystery and boy……WHAT A bloody journey it was. Where shall I start? There wasn’t even a single moment throughout the book where I wasn’t at the edge of my seat, brainstorming on the possibilities of what would come next and what would happen. Never in this whole entire book ever I felt a tinge of boredom surging over me. This book, from the very first page to the last kept me engaged and mesmerize, the suspense, the thrill, oh God. This book didn’t fail to deliver what it promised, heck even it delivered more than that. After being surrounded by alot of dense and critical pieces of literary fictions and finally being free from the overwhelming shackles of exams and its pressure’s, I really wanted something fun and enjoyable to once again dive into the endless world of literature and reading. I must say, picking A Good Girls Guide To Murder was the best book I could’ve chosen. It literally gave me everything I wanted, and even more! This was truly a thrilling adventure and really a fun and exciting one. Moreover, I buddy read this book with one of my closest friends. Sharing my thoughts with her and expressing our shocks, surprises, terrors and joy as the story progressed had to be the cherry on top. Viewing everything through the lens of our protagonist and watching the mystery unfold and especially, watching our protagonist descent into immorality for the sake of finding the truth and going to such extends for the sake of it. Watching her actions take darker turns with every passing page and looking deeply into her psychology, her state of mind, and her seemingly disguised but worsening mentality throughout the book was genuinely excellent and masterfully crafted by the author. What a magnificently crafted story with its earth-shattering plot-twists that lead the it to extremity. When you think, it can’t get any better than this, welp, IT DOES AND IT SHOCKS YOU TO THE CORE! This was such a fun and enjoyable journey, which I took off with my bestfriend. This book will forever be a staple in my heart as I could experience it one-to-one with my bestfriend and we blasted it off. I just want to say, this is by no means a perfect book or does it hold any superior literary significance, but it’s a great book and a really enjoyable one. Now, I’m really excited to dive into the next book in this trilogy, woah, what an experience. Never knew my first ever murder mystery to hit all the spots hehe.
