How do Pip and Ravi meet and connect in A Good Girl's Guide to Murder?
In the first novel, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, Pip investigates what is thought to have been a murder-suicide case of Andie Bell and Sal Singh, as part of her Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), where she needs a mystery to solve.
It is the one school project that allows the student to investigate a matter of local interest and under deep scrutiny. Therefore, Pip chooses to revisit and investigate the closed case of Andie's murder, as well as the so-called suicide by Sal, which she very well perceives as a case of actual murder.
She seeks information about Ravi's brother, Sal, who had been brought into detention for the murder of Andie. They now have a common goal of proving Sal's innocence.
As they work on the case in A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, their relationship grows from working together as friends in the business to working together as best friends. Then it blossoms into much more than that, ultimately leading to something more than just a romantic relationship. At the very end of the book, Pip and Ravi even have a kiss, which jumpstarts their romantic relationship.
Development of their relationship in Good Girl, Bad Blood
In Good Girl, Bad Blood, Pip tries to back off of detective work but is pulled right back in after Jamie Reynolds, a friend's brother, goes missing. Jamie's disappearance forces Pip to break her promise of not being a detective anymore.
Throughout this book, Ravi remains a solid source of emotional and practical support as she wrestles to stay safe from the dangers and challenges of her investigation. Their relationship becomes more public and serious.
For instance, Pip's best friend, Cara, believes that Ravi will ask Pip to be his girlfriend, hinting at the depth of their feelings for each other. They also attend the memorial for Andie and Sal's death anniversary together, showcasing their united front.
Their challenges and growth in As Good as Dead
In As Good as Dead, Pip is troubled by the events in the previous book and feels that she is being stalked by a serial killer identified as the DT Killer. This killer is supposed to be in jail, but Pip knows they are after her. Ravi remains with her, supporting her, and is now in law school.
All goes haywire when Pip is abducted by none other than the DT Killer, Jason Bell. Pip fights back and finally manages to escape Jason, killing him in the process, and then comes running to Ravi for help to dispose of the body.
To save Ravi from any more trouble, Pip cuts off communication with him. However, when they parted, the separation was final, but the ending suggested they would be together because of the trial of one of the main characters in the entire plot line, Max Hastings.
The end of Holly Jackson's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder trilogy hints that Pippa Fitz-Amobi and Ravi Singh are finally together. From being partners in solving crimes, they became so much more. Ravi becomes the persona that upholds Pip in everything, sticking by her and holding her hand at the darkest times and through her life's most dangerous and critical episodes.
Their story is one of loyalty, endurance, and love—one of the most engaging in this exhilarating trilogy. The A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series has left them with the hope of reunion and continuous partnership, despite challenges and temporary separation.
