Teen-crime aficianado Pippa Fitz-Amobi is back in the sequel to "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder," with the events of the first book propelling her into a renowned true-crime podcaster. Fortunately, living in the unluckiest and coincidental small town ever is a boon to Pip, as the disappearance of her best friend's brother gives her ripe material for new episodes and another calling toward detective work.
My edition of the book randomly moved the events from England to the United States, which was slightly jarring. But Holly Jackson's customary pacing travels well and is in full effect, as Pip, Ravi Singh, and Connor Reynolds explore their town's dark secrets and slew of shady characters.
Suspension of disbelief is certainly required on occasion, but "Good Girl, Bad Blood" is full of fun twists and turns if you allow yourself to indulge.
