An idealistic teen plays detective in the streamer's new British mystery series, A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder
Welcome to Little Kilton. A place with a population small enough that everyone knows everyone. A town safe enough that people really leave their spare keys under flowerpots. A place so picturesque that everyone lives in harmony.), step into Little Kilton, two teenagers died: Andie Bell was killed, and her boyfriend Sal Singh committed suicide after confessing to her murder.
Somehow Pip persuades Sal’s younger brother Ravi to help her, and the two proceed to lightly flirt their way through the case, along the way engaging in a little criminal behavior and discovering a larger conspiracy surrounding Andie’s murder. Pip’s innocence—reflected in the staid shorts and sweater vests she’s almost constantly dressed in, like some British-girl version of a Hardy boy—means she gets away with a lot. She breaks into Andie Bell’s house, leaving her extremely recognizable car outside; she goes to a party and questions a drug dealer with no consequences; and she gets rescued from an assault by a friend of a friend.
But race is important, even if Pip doesn’t acknowledge it much. In one of the show’s early scenes, Pip’s stepfather Vic discusses a legal case he’s won and mentions that people “are innocent until proven guilty, unless…” As he trails off, Pip’s younger brother chimes in with, “You’re a Black man,” prompting an admonishment from his wife who doesn’t seem to want the topic brought up.
