Praise for Rachel Price:

'Holly Jackson returns with a blisteringly good standalone thriller’ – Observer

'An instantly gripping, corkscrew-twisty thriller’ – The Guardian

'Holly Jackson has smashed it again. It is a lit fuse that explodes in dramatic fashion, but also always stays focused on the characters at its heart. This is a twisty, ambiguous book that thrives in its entangled relationships, unpicking the secrets hidden within.’ – The Nerd Daily

Praise for Holly Jackson:

‘Jackson is the queen of young adult novels’ Independent

‘A blisteringly good standalone thriller.’ The Observer on Five Survive, YA Books of the Year, 4/12/2022

‘A thrill ride.’ The Guardian

“Holly Jackson, the OG of UK YA thriller writers, has written one of her most exciting novels yet. Five Survive, my Book of the Month, is about a group of teens who set off on a trip for spring break; when they find themselves under attack, they must work out who is trying to shoot them—and why. Set over the course of just a few hours, this taut thriller will keep readers hooked.” – Charlotte Eyre, The Bookseller

The Good Girl’s Guide to Murder trilogy

‘A taut, compulsively readable, elegantly plotted thriller' - Guardian

'Jackson ensnares readers in another highly addictive web, woven from the dark shadows of small-town secrets.’ – The Observer

“As Good As Dead is a phenomenal mystery that deserves to be one of the books of the year and provides a stellar finale to a knockout series.” – Nerd Daily

'A fiendishly-plotted mystery that kept me guessing until the very end.' – Laura Purcell, bestselling author of The Silent Companions

'Twisty, compulsive and so, so clever' – Savannah Brown, author of The Truth About Keeping Secrets

I enjoyed the story after the initial slow-build at the beginning. It is an intriguing mystery, with complex characters. However, you will find that you need to ignore your common sense and just go with the decisions that the characters make. As a final note, the 'English' accents used are distractingly bad. I think the audiobook would have benefited from multiple voice actors.

Suspend your disbelief

Only questionable element was the voice given to the English characters - every time one of them spoke it took me out of the story.

Enjoyable with a good twist.

Wow wow wow I currently have no words I and writing this as I have just finished the book. Another amazing book by holly Jackson the mystery and shock through out the book. A slow start but then it ramped up and toward the end the fast pace things moved quickly and the clues just kept coming. Just as I thought I had cracked the case when I turned the next page my theory was squashed and I was left confused again until slowly through the look still lots of suprises and omg moments and an ending I wasn’t expecting I’m just glad that carter Rachel and bel got there happy ending.

I really connected with the characters just as I did with her other books with pip.

This wasn’t my first thriller mystery and will not be my last holly jackson you she. Helped me find my love for books again
