Jackson's second book, Good Girl, Bad Blood, has been adapted for season 2.

The official synopsis is as follows: "After solving the Andie Bell case Pip‘s world has been transformed by her actions, and not always for the better. Pip is determined to fix the fallout - and stay away from any more investigations.

"But as Max Hastings’ trial approaches, key witness [Connor's brother] Jamie Reynolds suddenly disappears and Pip finds herself in a race against time to find him.

"This new mystery will take Pip to unexpected places as she struggles with the idea of justice, straying even further from the 'good girl' she once was."

Is there a trailer for A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 2?

We'd expect the official trailer to arrive in the month leading up to the premiere.

There may also be teaser snippets released before then.
