Holly Jackson Synopses: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson is the first book in the series of the same name.

In the small town of Fairview, everyone knows the tragic story: high school senior Andie Bell was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then took his own life. The case was closed, but the pain lingers, casting a long shadow over the community.

Five years later, Pip, now a senior at the same high school, can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to the story. She remembers Sal from her childhood—he was always kind, not the type to commit such a horrific crime. With doubts gnawing at her, Pip decides to reopen the case as her final school project, initially just to raise questions about the original investigation.

But as she delves deeper, Pip uncovers a web of dark secrets that could prove Sal’s innocence. As she gets closer to the truth, the boundary between past and present starts to blur, and it becomes clear that someone in Fairview wants to keep the truth buried. Now, Pip finds herself in danger, realizing that the closer she gets to uncovering what really happened, the more perilous her quest becomes.

Good Girl, Bad Blood is book 2 in the Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series by Holly Jackson. Pip isn’t a detective anymore. After solving the murder case that rocked her town, she and Ravi Singh created a true-crime podcast that has since gone viral. Despite the newfound fame, Pip is adamant that her days of investigating are over.

But that resolve is tested when Jamie Reynolds, someone she knows, goes missing on the same night the town holds a memorial for the sixth anniversary of Andie Bell and Sal Singh’s deaths. The police refuse to take the disappearance seriously, leaving Pip with no choice but to break her promise and start digging for answers.

As she dives back into the town’s murky past, uncovering more secrets that its residents would rather keep buried, Pip realizes that this time, everyone is watching—and listening. But as the stakes get higher, she has to ask herself: can she find Jamie before it’s too late?

As Good as Dead by Holly Jackson is the third book in the Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series. As Pip prepares to head off to college, she’s still haunted by the dark turn her last investigation took. Though she’s become accustomed to receiving online death threats after her true-crime podcast went viral, one anonymous message keeps chilling her to the core: *Who will look for you when you’re the one who disappears?*

When the threats escalate and Pip realizes that someone is following her in real life, she starts to suspect that there may be a connection between her stalker and a local serial killer who was supposedly caught six years ago. Could it be that the wrong person is behind bars?

With the police dismissing her concerns, Pip knows she has only one option: track down the real suspect herself before she becomes the next victim. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Pip begins to realize that everything in her small town is coming full circle—and if she doesn’t uncover the truth in time, she may be the one who disappears for good.
