In 2019, author Holly Jackson released A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, which became a book series, and then a limited Netflix series.
It’s a mystery thriller novel that follows the main character Pip as she tries to clear the name of an accused murderer and find out what happened to his alleged victim.
In 2020 and 2021, the next two books were released, Good Girl Bad Blood and As Good As Dead.
In 2024, Netflix released a Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series and was on the top 10 global list.
WJPS 11th grade student Daniella Torres said, “I really liked reading the books and thought that the twists were really smart. I haven’t watched the show yet, but I’m not sure if I will because I feel like already knowing the major plot twist would ruin the experience.”
WJPS 11th grade student Markella Georgiou said, “I have heard of it, and it was definitely on my list for a while. I like the crime genre, but I’m very picky about which ones I read. I’ll probably watch the show, but I don’t think I would put too much priority on reading the series.”
