1 About this book
Pip Fitz-Amobi is about to leave for university, and she is still haunted by the way her last investigation ended. Her true-crime podcast has made her used to threats online, but one anonymous message keeps coming back, asking who will look for her when she is the one who disappears. Then it becomes clear that someone is following her, and that he knows where she lives. When Pip finds a pattern linking her stalker to a serial murderer who was active in the area six years ago, a case for which a man is already in prison, she begins to wonder whether the right person was convicted. As Good As Dead is the last book in Holly Jackson's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder trilogy.

2 What to expect
The final book of the Good Girl's Guide to Murder trilogy, in which Pip, shaken by her earlier cases, becomes the target of a stalker. It starts as another investigation and becomes something much darker, a thriller about trauma, justice and how far a person will go when the system fails. It is the most violent and morally troubling of the three, and it depends on the first two books.
Good for readers who want: a thriller, humor, and a long read.
