Once Upon a Crime -- May 2, 2023

The Once Upon a Crime book club met to discuss their may book, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, by Holly Jackson. With seven club members and a few  guests rating it, the book received four out of five stars. 

Members liked the pace of the book even though it had a lot of characters to keep track of. Pippa, a high school girl, has chosen a closed murder case as her school project. She starts out just wanting to clear her accused friend's name, and once she questions the boy's brother, they decide to "solve" the case together and clear his name. There are many different people who the kids suspect, but finally they do solve it and clear the young man's name. 

The discussion members were amazed at how they went about discovering different facts as teenagers and how the community folks were willing to answer their questions.
