The novel is the first in a series of three novels and one novella: A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (2019); Good Girl, Bad Blood (2020); As Good As Dead (2021); and Kill Joy (2022).

The plot follows an investigation carried out by 17-year-old true crime enthusiast Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amobi, a high school student in the fictional town of Little Kilton, Buckinghamshire (or Fairview, Connecticut in the US version). In the novel, Pip plans to investigate a five-year-old murder-suicide case involving the murder of popular student Andrea "Andie" Bell and the suicide of her perpetrator Salil "Sal" Singh under the guise of a school project. Her objectives are to exonerate Sal, whom she is convinced was falsely accused of killing Andie Bell, and to uncover the true perpetrator, whom Pip believes is still at large.
