Book Review:
''Kill Joy'' is a delightful and quick read that serves as the perfect appetizer for fans of Holly Jackson's bestselling series or a fun introduction for new readers. Set during a murder mystery party, it captures Pip's signature curiosity and logical mind in a low-stakes, playful environment. While it doesn't carry the weight or tension of the main trilogy's criminal investigations, it successfully establishes the core friend group dynamics and Pip's natural inclination towards solving puzzles. The writing is engaging and true to the series' tone. As a World Book Day book, it achieves its goal perfectly: providing an accessible, entertaining story that encourages reading. It's a charming addition to the series lore.
