Show Review: A Good Girls Guide To Murder

February 21, 2025

I had been putting this show off for a long time, thinking that I would read the book first, but here I am, I still haven’t read the book, and I am writing a review for the first season. Everything about this show was right up my alley. I love the suspense, I love the drama, I love the the friendship and the learning about oneself, I love the strong female lead…really, what isn’t to love?

We follow a young girl named Pip who lives in a small-ish town that, just a few years before, had a murder of a young woman named Andie, and then a suicide out of guilt from the murder. But Pip doesn’t believe that the young man that was accused for murdering Andie, her boyfriend Sal, is guilty, or that he killed himself out of guilt. In the last year of high school, she has to write an EPQ for college admissions, and she chooses this murder/suicide as her topic. She recruits the help of Sal’s younger brother, Ravi, to help her prove that his brother is not guilty, and they start digging. But, the deeper they dig, the more they uncover and the most confused they get. Who can they trust? Who knows more about this than they are letting on? Why does no one else want to solve the murder of Andie Bell?

I am still considering reading this book because the show was so good. There is another season in the works and there are more than one book in this series, so I will for sure be watching the following seasons, if not reading the books as well. I would suggest this show for all murder mystery lovers, all teen show lovers, and all coming-of-age lovers.
