What Is A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder About?
Set in the fictional town of Little Kilton, Buckinghamshire, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder follows protagonist Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amobi, a young student with a love of true crime. Pip has made the decision to investigate a murder-suicide that took place 5 years prior, and believes that the alleged perpetrator Sal was innocent and did not in fact murder his girlfriend Andie Bell before taking his own life.
Pip soon learns that there’s more to this story than meets the eye, and if Sal is not in fact the murderer, that means a cold-blooded killer is wandering the streets of Little Kilton, and Pip’s sleuthing may have just painted a target on her back.
