🔍 The Plot:

In A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, high school senior Pip isn’t your average teen — she’s ambitious, driven, and determined to uncover the truth when her class decides to dig into the well-known murder-suicide of local golden boy Andie Bell.

As a solo investigation, Pip interviews townspeople, combs through old police files, and revisits crime scenes. Her meticulous sleuthing uncovers inconsistencies: people lied, motives were buried, and evidence was overlooked. Before long, someone is watching her moves—and a surprise recipient of threatening messages tells her: stop digging… or disappear. Pip must navigate high school cliques, family pressure, and mounting danger to expose the truth before she becomes the next victim.
