17yo Pip attends a murder mystery dinner party in her hometown of Fairview, Connecticut along with her friends. As she’s playing her part, she discovers how invested she becomes even though it’s a fake mystery. She has an elaborate theory involving most of the players and their characters and is disappointed when the packaged murder mystery only declares the murderer and nothing else about the shenanigans involving the others.
This party takes place before Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. It helps Pip decide on her Capstone Project topic: solving Andie Bell’s murder. This novella is a quick read. I like that it’s a prequel and a precursor to A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series. I enjoyed the interesting murder mystery dinner party idea. The ethnicity is mixed with Pip being White.
