A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

Pippa Fitz-Amobi, an intelligent and determined high school student, is looking for the perfect topic for her final year project. She chooses an infamously closed case that has haunted her small town for years – the controversial murder of the popular schoolgirl Andie Bell. Five years ago, Andie's boyfriend, Sal Singh, confessed to the crime before tragically taking his own life. The police considered it a closed case, and the town has since accepted the tragic narrative. However, as Pip delves deeper into the details, she begins to uncover startling inconsistencies and dangerous secrets that suggest the real killer might still be out there.

As Pip's investigation unfolds, she must navigate a web of deceit and hostility, all while trying to adhere to her school deadlines. Her probing questions and tenacious spirit put her on a collision course with someone who has stayed hidden in plain sight for half a decade. With every layer Pip unravels, the stakes get higher and the danger intensifies, leading to a high-stakes climax that will leave readers breathless.

This compelling thriller is perfect for fans of page-turning mysteries like One of Us Is Lying, Gone Girl, We Were Liars, and the TV show Riverdale. Jackson masterfully crafts a story filled with suspense, unexpected twists, and a heroine you can’t help but root for.
