The mystery thriller titled “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder“, known for its unexpected twists and addictive viewing, has climbed the rankings on streaming platforms after its debut on Netflix, becoming a popular choice among viewers.

In simpler terms, this mystery thriller show, inspired by Holly Jackson’s 2019 book with the same title, tells the story of Pip Fitz-Amobi (played by Emma Myers), a high school student delving into an old murder case that she believes was wrongly solved initially.

Featuring Anna Maxwell Martin and Mathew Baynton in secondary roles, this six-part series initially premiered on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer in July 2024. Now, all episodes are accessible for viewing on Netflix, as they were added to the platform on July 1st.

On Wednesdays, the show turned out to be quite popular among viewers, ranking as the ninth most-watched series on the streaming platform. However, it surpassed that success on Thursdays, climbing up to the seventh spot on the viewership charts (according to FlixPatrol).

The series has received widespread acclaim from critics, with an impressive 83% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 40 reviews. _The Mary Sue_ has described it as a highly addictive viewing experience, while _Pajiba_ commended its intricate and engaging storyline, along with the captivating performances of the cast members.

After receiving praise from both critics and viewers, the hit murder mystery series was revived for a second season last November. The forthcoming six-episode season will be adapted from Jackson’s 2020 novel titled “Good Girl, Bad Blood.

Following the resolution of the Andie Bell case, Pip’s life has significantly changed due to her involvement, not all changes being positive. Eager to rectify the consequences and avoid further inquiries, Pip is resolute about steering clear.

As I, Pip, delve deeper into my gaming world, Max Hastings’s upcoming trial looms large. Suddenly, crucial witness Jamie Reynolds vanishes, plunging me into a desperate hunt for him. This fresh enigma is leading me to unforeseen locales, testing my understanding of justice and pushing me further away from the ‘good girl’ I used to be.

As a game enthusiast, I’m absolutely ecstatic that we get to carry on Pip’s journey! This time around, I get to pen down the plot for this series, and let me tell you, it feels incredible! We owe this opportunity to our devoted fans, and I can hardly wait to reconnect with my AGGGTM teammates!

Poppy Cogan, the series creator, expressed her joy at returning to Little Kilton with Pip and companions for the second season. She is excited to adapt yet another captivating tale by Holly into the show’s script, as she will be jointly writing the new season with Jackson.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is streaming on Netflix.

The latest print edition from Digital Spy, titled “Oasis – Live in ’25”, is available for purchase! You can find it at your local newsstands or buy it online for only £8.99.
