The sequel book, Good Girl, Bad Blood, picks up where the first season leaves off, moving deep into Pip's life and her continued inquiries. This is a continuation of the storyline of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 1, featuring newer mysteries and continuing character development.
Good Girl, Bad Blood, starts six weeks after the events in A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 1. Elliot Ward has been arrested for Sal Singh's murder, but Pip feels that the media isn't telling the whole story.
She launches a true-crime podcast intending to uncover the truth. When Jamie Reynolds, the older brother of her friend Connor, goes missing, Pip reluctantly investigates. The plot thickens drastically as Pip unravels the secrets with her friends—from catfishing to a quite chilling, cold serial killer case dating way back in time, down to Stanley Forbes, an accomplice with a very dark history.
Who are the main characters in this book?
The characters of Good Girl, and Bad Blood drive the plot with great depth added to the story through them. Many of the following characters have been already introduced in A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 1:
Pip Fitz-Amobi: A resourceful, curious, and gritty young lady who is a high school student but has solved mysteries. Pip's true crime podcast becomes the vehicle for her investigations.
Ravi Singh: Pip's best friend and her tech-savvy sidekick who helps her unravel the complicated web of clues and connections. His loyalty and wit, therefore, become very critical to the team.
Max Hastings: Max Hastings used to be friends with Sal Singh. He does state to the police that Sal taught them to lie about his alibi although he would know that it was not the case. Max conveniently sidesteps Pip's questions about Andie during several interviews and becomes a suspect.
Jamie Reynolds: The missing person in the second mystery. Jamie's disappearance compels Pip to break her promise of putting the investigation behind her and sets Pip on a dark path to uncover hidden truths.
Stanley Forbes: He is a volunteer at the newspaper who becomes embroiled in a dangerous plot. He turns out to be the son of a notorious serial killer from two decades earlier. Stanley himself plays a dark role in his father's crimes.
All these characters come together to make a tight-knit unit since the differences in their orientations and expert skills can help unveil the truth behind the crimes.
