A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder plot: What’s it about?
Season 1 of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder will follow the first book of the series, so there won’t be any big spoilers here.
The synopsis for Jackson’s first novel reads: “The case is closed. Five years ago, schoolgirl Andie Bell was murdered by Sal Singh. The police know he did it. Everyone in town knows he did it.
But, having grown up in the same small town that was consumed by the murder, Pippa Fitz-Amobi isn’t so sure. When she chooses the case as the topic for her final year project, she starts to uncover secrets that someone in town desperately wants to stay hidden. And if the real killer is still out there, how far will they go to keep Pip from the truth?”
Tiplady and Read have confirmed that, if Season 1 does well, future seasons will follow Jackson’s follow-up novels Good Girl, Bad Blood, and As Good as Dead.
