A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson (Paperback)

Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amobi, a bright and determined 17-year-old, decides to reopen a notorious murder case for her school project. Five years ago, Andie Bell was murdered, and her boyfriend Sal Singh seemingly confessed—then died by suicide. But Pip does not believe the easy version of this story.

With the help of Ravi, Sal’s younger brother, Pip launches a covert investigation to uncover the truth. She interviews friends, looks through evidence, and follows leads that others have long forgotten. As she digs deeper, she realises someone in her town doesn’t want the past to be disturbed.

Her investigation becomes more dangerous than she expected. Pip receives threatening messages and finds herself drawn into a web of lies, deceit, and buried secrets. She has to decide how far she is willing to push before the killer realises she’s closing in.

Cleverly plotted and full of red herrings, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder combines tension, true crime-style detective work, and emotional risk. For Pip, solving the case isn’t just about justice—it’s about giving a second chance to a story that was never truly closed.
