Listen Before You Watch: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder
By Erin Murphy
The bestselling, fan-favorite audiobook series A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is now a Netflix show! The series follows the precocious Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amobi who decides that re-examining a closed, five year old murder is the perfect project to round out her senior year of high school. What Pip doesn’t expect is a trail of dark secrets, and the endangerment of her own life.
Like Netflix adaptation, which stars Emma Myers of Wednesday, the audiobook series is performed by a full cast of all-star narrators including Bailey Carr, who brings Pip to life. Bailey previously shared with us what it was like to voice Pip, and what she loves about the character:
“I love Pip’s tenacity and fearlessness and admire her dedication to purpose and justice. She is unstoppable in her pursuit of truth and is willing to ask tough questions of the people in her community. She has grown so much since Book 1: in her process, in her relationship to Ravi, in her sense of self and in her world view. The author, Holly Jackson, made Pip so relatable and relevant (she makes Reddit jokes and gave Pip a podcast in Book 2) which was a fun marriage of content and form for the audiobook and gave this project an extra layer of authenticity.”
Before you settle in to see Pip and company on screen (or maybe after you finish your binge watch and can’t wait to find out what happens next), pop in your headphones and listen to the full rollercoaster of a trilogy (and bonus novella!).
