Small-town secrets rarely stay buried for long, and in this 2024 British mystery series they resurface exactly five years after a teenager's death.
What is A Good Girl's Guide to Murder about?
Pippa Fitz-Amobi picks a closed case for a school project: the death of classmate Andie Bell, whose boyfriend Sal Singh confessed before ending his own life. Something about the tidy conclusion never sat right with Pip, so she starts pulling threads the police left alone. Sal's brother Ravi, who has spent five years defending a name the whole town wants to forget, becomes her reluctant partner. Together they retrace old alibis, reopen old grudges, and discover that plenty of people in their quiet corner of England had reasons to want Andie silenced. The deeper Pip digs, the more her own safety becomes part of the story she is trying to tell.
Cast & crew
Emma Myers, known for her breakout role in a Netflix hit, leads as the relentlessly curious Pip, opposite Zain Iqbal as Ravi. Anna Maxwell Martin, Mathew Baynton, Asha Banks, and Carla Woodcock round out a cast of neighbors and classmates who all seem to be hiding something, under director Dolly Wells's steady hand.
Context & significance
Adapted from Holly Jackson's bestselling young-adult novel, the series is a UK-Germany-US co-production and holds a 6.8 rating on IMDb. Its true-crime-podcast framing device, Pip narrates her findings as she goes, gives the six-episode run a documentary texture that sets it apart from glossier teen thrillers. Each episode runs roughly forty-three minutes, keeping the pacing brisk as new suspects and buried motives keep surfacing across the small town's tight social circles.
Where & how to watch
The series streams on K-Time with Persian dubbing and subtitles, so Farsi-speaking viewers can follow Pip's investigation in their own language. Watching requires a free K-Time account login; the show's page itself is open to browse without signing in first.
