Killy Joy by Hollly Jackson

In this prequel to A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series, Pip once again tries to solve a mystery. Will she find the murderer before time is up? Does it matter if it is only a mystery party with her friends? To Pip it does. She can't stop her instinctive nature to piece together clues. 

This novella brings together many of the characters who appear in the other books (although, not all since Pip hasn't met some of them yet). They gather one night to participate in a role playing murder mystery set in the 1920s. There are moments of suspense, but mostly it is all fun and games (literally) as the clues are revealed and everyone tries to stay in character. Only Pip gets so into finding the fictitious murder. 

If you have read the other books in the series, you should pick this one up and enjoy it.
