On top of the excellent writing and performances, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is given a backdrop with a well-rounded, potentially timeless aesthetic that relies on being soft instead of flashy.
Whether you're a fan of the book or venturing into the world of AGGGTM for the very first time, this is a killer series that will almost certainly return for future seasons.

I read the books a while ago and this adaptation is very good. Book adaptations are always a controversial topic these days, but the BBC managed to do some justice here. Of course, there's no way to make a TV adaptation exactly like the book, but the essence is there and the castings were a great success and contributed a lot to making the series much better. Emma Myers está Captivating e perfect as Pip Fitz-Amobi. I hope new Seasons

Wow what an adaptation. I think Poppy Cogan has done a beautiful work adapting Holly Jackson’s trama to the small scenes. It was such an amazing experience to follow the mystery aside with Pip. Emma Myers made an incredible work. Through her, we could imersa in Little Kilton and in Pip’s mind. She’s really charming and gave a special touch for this show. Naomi’s actress and Max’s actor were also delitiful surprises. They gave a misterious look to the trama. My favorite scene is the one with Pip, Naomi and Max. It was so immersive.

It’s murder-lite but with just enough grit and twists, however contrived, to keep you bingeing through its six episodes. With more stories to plunder in the novel series, this surely won’t be the last we see of the resourceful Pip Fitz-Amobi.
Although some of these component parts might feel familiar, the story is pacily told and filled with enough twists to make A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder moreish viewing. Think The Famous Five meets Pretty Little Liars, as told by Agatha Christie: it’s a combination that shouldn’t really work on paper, but will have you hooked all the same.
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is at its best when it leans into being a fast-paced, frothy whodunnit. If you go into it expecting an epic and intricate Wilkie Collins-style thriller, you’ll be sorely disappointed. But if you’re looking for an easy, breezy binge-worthy murder mystery, prepare to be glued to your screen.

FULL REVIEW
There is no time to be bored, to dwell on the plot holes or to do anything other than enjoy yourself. It manages to be a meditation on the trials and tribulations of growing up and on the manifestations of grief. In short, it’s a good good girl’s guide to murder.
The series He adapted the first book very well, and like him, left clues and inviting clues for possible upcoming seasons. Emma Myers It's amazing as Pip, watching her performance is like taking the character out of the book, it was definitely the best choice.
