A new TV adaptation of A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder is coming to BBC Three this year.

Holly Jackson’s New York Times bestselling novel will be brought to the screen by Poppy Cogan (Red Rose, Dangerous Liaisons).

When to watch

A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder will be released on BBC iPlayer on 1 July 2024. It will also air on TV on BBC Three from 10 July.

A teaser of AGGGTM shares: “Five years ago, schoolgirl Andie Bell was murdered by Sal Singh. Case closed. The police know he did it. Everyone in town knows he did it. But Pippa Fitz-Amobi – our insatiably smart, slightly square heroine – isn’t so sure and she’s determined to prove it.

“But if Sal Singh isn’t a murderer and the real killer is still out there, how far will they go to keep Pippa from the truth?”
