Theme:
‘A Girl’s Guide to Murder’ is an engrossing study on perversion, injustice, and the underhanded darkness of the village concealed. It is as though one is following pieces of an intricate puzzle that unravels itself with every turn that the reader makes until Pippa Fitz-Amobi’s secret is revealed. The story is more than just an ordinary murder mystery as its themes of determination as well as the search for the truth resounds all through the text.
Characters: A Tapestry of Complexity:
There is more to Jackson’s story than simply murders, each character forms part of a broader conspiracy. The secrets that each character hides make the plot intriguing and challenge a reader’s assumptions about what they thought was happening.
Favourite Character: Pippa Fitz-Amobi
The story revolves around our brave amateur detective, Pippa Fitz-Amobi. What makes her an inspiring heroine is her iron-willed refusal to give up no matter how desperate things become and how we feel connected to her because she appears so vulnerable. Pippa’s story goes beyond the limits of this genre and she remains my favourite person in this fascinating plot.
