A good girl’s guide to murder

Sal Singh is a boy who committed suicide after allegedly murdering his girlfriend Andie Bell and hiding her body. Five years later Pippa Fitz-Amobi has decided to clear the name of Sal Singh for a school project by re-examining all of the evidence she can find and by re-interviewing everyone who was involved in the cold case. Pippa is convinced that the kind sweet boy she knew as Sal could never have done what he was accused of doing.
Once she starts her investigation, she gains an accomplice; Sal’s younger brother Ravi who is thrilled to realize there is at least one person outside of their family, who is convinced of Sal’s innocence.
As more and more clues are uncovered and the list of suspects grows, Pippa starts to receive warnings to back off the case. Initially she isn’t too worried, but when the unthinkable happens and a death occurs, it becomes obvious that the real killer isn’t fooling around.
The intricacy of the plot is outstanding, the relationship between Pippa and Ravi is refreshing and the pacing of the story is superb. It has been a long time since I enjoyed a mystery this much.
Caution: Due to the mature content such as references to drinking, drug use and sex, I would definitely recommend this for teens rather than tweens.
