Holly Jackson’s wildly popular YA thriller series, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, is soon to be adapted for television after gaining huge success on BookTok.
The New York Times bestseller follows amateur detective Pip Fitz-Amobi, who attempts to solve a mysterious murder that occurred five years ago, leading to huge ramifications. There are two other books in the series: Good Girl, Bad Blood and As Good as Dead. However, only the first novel will be retained for the moment.

BBC iPlayer now also requires you to create an account before streaming, which helps ensure all viewers have a valid TV licence. The BBC says the purpose of the account is not to go after iPlayer users who haven’t paid for a TV licence, but has admitted it will cross-reference email addresses with people who have previously claimed they don’t need a TV licence.
A second problem is that you will need to provide a valid UK postcode to register. Learn more in our guide on how to watch BBC iPlayer abroad.

Five years ago, schoolgirl Andie Bell was murdered by her boyfriend Sal Singh. Case closed. The police know he did it. Everyone in town knows he did it.
But smart and determined Pip Fitz-Amobi isn’t so sure and she’s determined to prove it. And if Sal Singh isn’t a murderer and the real killer is still out there, how far will they go to hide the truth from Pip?
