Emma Myers Is Ready to Solve a Mystery In Our First Look at 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder'

The BBC has released a series of first-look images for A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, its upcoming six-part series based on author Holly Jackson's bestselling trilogy of YA novels with actress Emma Myers in the lead role. (You likely know her from Netflix's Wednesday, where she played Wednesday Addams's bubbly werewolf magical boarding school roommate and basically stole the show out from under everyone.) In this series, Myers plays Pip Fitz-Amobi, a true crime enthusiast convinced that her small Buckinghamshire town's most famous death isn't the open-and-shut case everyone seems to believe it to be. (Yes, it was a Connecticut town in the U.S. version of the books, but since this is a U.K. series, let's assume it uses U.K. names.)

Five years earlier, Little Kilton was rocked by a brutal tragedy, a murder-suicide in which popular student Andie Bell went missing and was presumed dead. She was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who seemingly took his life after being accused of the crime. Obvious, right? That's what the whole town thinks, at least; everyone except Pip. She was childhood friends with Sal, and is fully convinced of his innocence.

Using a school project as an excuse to investigate the crime more deeply, she teams up with Sal's younger brother, Ravi, to find out what happened and figure out who could have wanted to frame Sal for Andie's death. But small towns have dark secrets, and Pip will risk her own life — and those she loves — to prove her suspicions correct.
