Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is about a high school student named Pip who decides to investigate a murder that happened in her town five years ago. Everyone believes that a girl named Andie Bell was killed by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then killed himself. But Pip doesn’t believe Sal was guilty. For her school project, she starts looking into the case to prove Sal’s innocence. As she digs deeper, she finds out that a lot of people are hiding things and someone doesn’t want her to find out the truth.
“You need to stop digging,Pippa.Walk away while you still can .” (p191.)
This quote shows that Pip’s investigation is becoming dangerous. Someone is trying to scare her into quitting. But instead of giving up, Pip keeps going because she wants justice for Sal. This moment shows how serious the mystery is and how brave Pip has to be to keep looking for the truth, even when her own safety is at risk.
I picked this quote because it shows that Pip is getting close to something important, and now someone is warning her to stop. It made me feel like the story was getting more intense. I like how Pip doesn’t give up, even when it gets scary. This part made me want to know what happens next and if she’s going to be okay.
