A Good Girl's Guide To Murder Cast & Character Guide

Summary A Good Girl's Guide to Murder on Netflix follows Pip's investigation into a local murder, diverging from the book's American setting.

The ensemble cast includes breakout actors like Emma Myers and Zain Iqbal in this gripping mystery thriller series.

With an intriguing plot and dynamic characters, this adaptation offers a fresh take on the popular young adult book series.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is streaming on Netflix. Based on the popular young adult book of the same name, the show takes place in the fictional British town of Little Kilton. American fans of the book will notice the TV show does not take place in Fairview, which is only the setting in the localized American version of the book.

A Good Girls' Guide to Murder is about hardworking student Pip (played by Wednesday's Emma Myers), who decides to investigate the murder of local teenager Andie Bell, as she believes the police never caught the right person. Andie Bell is thought to have been murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh. Sal Singh later took his own life after the police found evidence he killed her. While fans of the book may know where Pip's investigation leads, for fans old and new, there is a lot to learn about the TV show's ensemble of characters and actors.
