This book is terrifying! Like the covers, the books get progressively darker as the series goes on.

Scarier than some outright horror books I’ve read, ‘As Good As Dead’ is the sort of book you have to put down and turn around carefully, overcome with the feeling that someone’s stood directly behind you… My other favourite thing? Holly Jackson’s writing is like a shot of pure adrenaline. “Who will look for you when you’re the one who disappears?” – HOLLY JACKSON, ‘AS GOOD AS DEAD’ I have never before seen how solving murder cases impacted a character in YA – again showing how these books are rooted in the real world. It’s a character development that puts you in a pretty unique position. In this final book of the trilogy, Pip has come a long way from her ‘good girl’ persona and has developed essentially PTSD. But Holly Jackson doesn’t slip into that easy groove. (You watched your best friend murder your whole family? Take a nap, and you’ll forget all about it!). YA books enjoy glossing over undeniable mental effects inflicted by a character’s trauma. As someone who grew up in a small English town, I can see the events of the series unfurling exactly as they do on page. One of my favourite things about the AGGGTM trilogy is how realistic they are. And despite veering violently from the tone of the first two books, Pip’s final showdown similarly didn’t disappoint. I trust her to give me the best plot twists, mysteries and characters – the first two books in this series, ‘A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder’ and ‘Good Girl, Bad Blood’, are some of the best YA thrillers out there. and if she doesn’t find the answers, this time she will be the one who disappears. As the deadly game plays out, Pip discovers that everything in her small town is coming full circle. Police refuse to act, so Pip has only one choice: find the suspect herself-or be the next victim.

When she starts to find connections between her stalker and a local serial killer caught six years ago, she wonders if maybe the wrong man is behind bars. Soon the threats escalate and Pip realizes that someone is following her in real life.

She’s used to online death threats in the wake of her viral true-crime podcast, but she can’t help noticing an anonymous person who keeps asking her: Who will look for you when you’re the one who disappears? This email is an advertisement from Barnes & Noble, Inc.Pip is about to head to college, but she is still haunted by the way her last investigation ended.
