Holly Jackson: As Good As Dead (2021, Egmont Books, Limited)
400 pages
English language
Published Nov. 10, 2021 by Egmont Books, Limited.
An amazing thriller part of the 3 part series, and the final book. the main character, Pip Fitz-Amobi is about to head to college, but she is still daunted by the results of her previous investigations regarding other crimes (see a good girls guide to murder, and as good as dead). These days, she is death threats in the wake of her well known-true-crime podcast, but she can't help noticing an anonymous person who keeps asking her a mysterious question, which will hunt her to the grave. The book, As good as dead, introduces you to a fantastic plot, with a mixture of humor, crime, thriller and just a jumble of amazing emotion.

Holly Jackson did her characters dirty, especially Pip. I recommend you only read the first book in this series and let the rest be.
A pretty dark finale. About half way through I was screaming at Pip not to the thing she was doing and the remainder of the book was uncomfortable reading at times. I do understand that Pip has lost faith in the justice system and it is a very real problem, when we can no longer trust the law to protect us.
