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.
High school meets true crime podcast—at least until it becomes real-life danger. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder puts an intelligent teen detective in the driver’s seat of a community-shaking mystery. It’s a gripping, twisty ride full of social secrets, teenage betrayals, and the stark reality of what it means to seek justice.
1. Pip is a Smart, Relatable Protagonist
She’s methodical, thoughtful, and sometimes overwhelmed—but never dull. Her perseverance, vulnerability, and ethical questions make her a heroine you’re rooting for from page one.
2. Twists That Keep You Reeling
Just when you think you’ve got the case figured out, Pip uncovers another layer: hidden diaries, secret relationships, and dangerous omissions all scream–don’t trust the surface.
3. A Fresh Take on the Small-Town Crime Genre
This isn’t a run-of-the-mill procedural. It blends teen realities (viral rumors, mistrust, social pressure) with the hallmarks of classic detective work, creating a compelling blend of personal stakes and public secrets.
Once you’ve cracked its secrets, share your theories, tag a friend who binge-reads mysteries, or invite someone to explore the Getaway to Murder community — because this thriller begs for discussion long after the final page. #getawaytomurder
