A Good Girl's Guide to Murder
Pretty and popular high school senior Andie Bell was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then killed himself. It was all anyone could talk about. And five years later, Pip sees how the tragedy still haunts her town. But she can't shake the feeling that there was more to what happened that day. She knew Sal when she was a child, and he was always so kind to her. How could he possibly have been a killer? Now a senior herself, Pip decides to reexamine the closed case for her final project, at first just to cast doubt on the original investigation. But soon she discovers a trail of dark secrets that might actually prove Sal innocent . . . and the line between past and present begins to blur. Someone in Fairview doesn't want Pip digging around for answers, and now her own life might be in danger.
About Author
Holly Jackson has revitalized the young adult mystery genre with her intricately plotted, contemporary thrillers that combine authentic teen voices with sophisticated crime storytelling. Her debut 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' launched an international phenomenon, spending years on bestseller lists and inspiring a television adaptation, while introducing protagonist Pip Fitz-Amobi who uses modern technology and true crime podcast techniques to solve cold cases. Jackson's background in English literature and linguistics informs her careful plotting and character development, with each novel featuring maps, transcripts, and multimedia elements that enhance the investigative narrative. The subsequent books in her trilogy—'Good Girl, Bad Blood' and 'As Good as Dead'—maintain the high stakes while exploring darker themes as her protagonist becomes increasingly entangled in the crimes she investigates. Jackson's success demonstrates the ongoing appeal of clever, puzzle-box mysteries for teen readers and her ability to modernize classic detective fiction structures for the digital age.
