DescriptionDiscover where it all began for the beloved character, Pip, in this enthralling prequel novella to the bestselling and award-winning series, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, Good Girl, Bad Blood, and As Good As Dead. Kill Joy by Holly Jackson was previously published in 2021 as a World Book Day title.
The Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series has taken TikTok by storm and earned critical acclaim, including the British Book Awards' Children’s Book of the Year 2020. It also became a New York Times bestseller and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize in 2020.
Pippa Fitz-Amobi isn't exactly thrilled about attending her friend’s murder mystery party. With its 1920’s fancy dress theme and the peculiar requirement to pretend their quaint town of Little Kilton is an island named Joy, Pip feels out of her element. However, as the game begins, she can't help but get drawn into the intricate web of make-believe intrigue, deception, and murder.
As Pip takes on the role of detective, she unravels the identity of the killer clue-by-clue within the fictional world. Yet, the murder of the imaginary Reginald Remy isn’t the only mystery occupying her thoughts. This prequel offers a compelling look into Pip's detective instincts and foreshadows the thrilling adventures that lie ahead.
