A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

by Holly Jackson

These tracks follow Pip from the quiet unease of Fairview’s familiar story into the pressure and momentum of an investigation that becomes personal. The instrumental first half moves between forensic tension, buried grief, and mounting suspicion; the vocal second half evokes the town’s reputation games, Andie’s public image, Pip’s determination, and the consequences of asking who really did it.
