Bookshelfie: Holly Jackson

Holly Jackson – aka the “Taylor Swift of books” – tells Vick about how she laughs at her bad reviews, her love of funny books about murder and what fans can expect from the second series of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.

Holly is a superstar of crime fiction. She has sold over 10 million copies of her books worldwide, with translations in 45 different languages, a loyal following and a highly engaged global fanbase. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder has spent over three years on the New York Times bestseller list and the series is now a major BBC and Netflix production, with season two due for release in late May. Holly’s other novels include Five Survive and The Reappearance of Rachel Price, and the paperback of her adult fiction debut, Not Quite Dead Yet, is published on 7 May.

Holly’s  book choices are:
**The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
**Beloved by Toni Morrison
**Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
**My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
**The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
