More dead than alive

For readers 16+ and those who love tense plots and psychological thrillers.

The police believe there's no real evidence that someone is stalking Pippa, so they refuse to act. Thus, the girl has only one choice – to find the suspect herself, so as not to become the next victim. She begins an investigation, unraveling a tangle of lies stretching from the past. Pippa hopes she can find answers, but it might already be too late for salvation. The teen detective thriller "As Good As Dead" is the third and final part of the bestselling series "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" by British author Holly Jackson. The book also features multimedia elements, like the previous ones, but this time there are fewer. The story itself is less focused on the investigation and more on the changes in Pippa's psyche and her fight for her life. The author does not lose her methodical attention to detail, gradually revealing a truth that may be shocking. Holly starts with a detective part and gradually transforms the narrative into a dark psychological thriller. She creates a claustrophobic atmosphere through cinematic elements, such as a heartbeat, the sound of footsteps, flickering lights, making readers feel Pippa's fears and experiences.
