What Is 'A Good Girl's Guide To Murder' About?
Netflix
The series, consisting of six gripping episodes, tracks teenager Pippa Fitz-Amobi as she delves into the five-year-old murder-suicide of her older classmate, Andie Bell. The prime suspect, Andie¡¯s boyfriend Sal Singh, allegedly took his own life in guilt after the crime. As Pippa grows closer to Sal¡¯s younger brother, Ravi Singh, a bond that hints at romance, she starts to question Sal¡¯s guilt. Driven by her suspicions, she embarks on her own investigation into the cold case, framing it as her senior project.
The show masterfully creates tension and suspense through its exceptional soundtrack, eerie scenes, and chilling written threats directed at Pippa as she interviews suspects and uncovers hidden secrets.
Why Is A Good Girl¡¯s Guide To Murder So Disturbing?
Netflix
The twisty tale has been deemed disturbing by many for the mere fact that there¡¯s not just one single perpetrator in the murder mystery. In fact, as the episodes go by, the viewers come to a realisation that sometimes the worst criminals are the most unexpected ones - more like wolves in sheep¡¯s clothing. They easily disguise themselves and pretend to be well wishers.
As Pippa pursues justice and seeks to hold those responsible for the horrific crimes, she increasingly puts herself at risk in her quest for the truth. By the end of the series, it's clear that she is resolutely determined to go to any length to uncover and expose the culprits who need to be brought to light.
