A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Ending Explained: Who Is Responsible For Killing Andie Bell?

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for intricate narratives, I found A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder to be a riveting exploration of crime, deception, and the human psyche. The series masterfully weaves together various plotlines, each as captivating as the next.


As a dedicated follower, I delve into the BBC series “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” adapted from Holly Jackson’s YA novel, where I, Pippa Fitz-Amobi, take on the challenge of reopening a five-year-old murder case. This investigation stirs up old wounds in our tight-knit town, but my determination remains undeterred. Throughout the series, I encounter numerous obstacles, but my resolve never wavers as I seek the truth. In the thrilling finale, along with my trusty sidekick Ravi Singh, we unravel the tangled web of deception and manipulation surrounding the mysterious disappearance of Andie Bell and Sal Singh. The series masterfully tackles themes of murder, blackmail, and the indomitable spirit required to solve intricate cases.

First, who killed Sal Singh?

Five years ago, Andie vanished, with Sal, her boyfriend, being the prime suspect for her murder. However, Pippa disagrees with this theory and later uncovers that Sal was likewise murdered. In the climax of the story, Pippa learns that Elliot Ward, her English teacher and the father of her best friend, was the one responsible for these heinous acts. Elliot took advantage of his community’s trust to get near Sal, strangling him and staging the scene as a suicide, in an attempt to divert attention away from himself regarding Andie’s disappearance/murder case.

In the final episode, Pippa learns that Elliot, known as the “secret older friend” among Andie’s circle, was involved in an illicit relationship with her. If authorities were to uncover his identity, Elliot could face charges of statutory rape or be implicated for a murder he may not have committed. This revelation brings disgrace upon the Singh family.

Who blackmailed Naomi and Max?

It becomes questionable as to whether Sal’s explanation for Andie’s vanishing act holds water, following his friends’ false testimonies to the authorities. Pippa uncovers that on the night Andie went missing, Sal was with Max Hastings, Jake Lawrence, and Naomi Ward – but they claim he departed earlier than stated. Naomi subsequently discloses that someone pressured them into lying, and the perpetrator turns out to be an English teacher. Elliot, aiming to incriminate Sal, delves into Naomi’s diary in search of blackmail evidence, ultimately unearthing the truth.

Previously, the trio found themselves entangled in a hit-and-run incident, which occurred during a reckless night out under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Max cleverly concealed their actions by bribing police officer Dan da Silva (Jackson Bews), who, like Elliot, had also been involved in a crime – the sexual exploitation of an underage girl named Andie. The hit-and-run event bears similarities to The Great Gatsby, where Daisy commits the offense but shifts the blame onto Gatsby out of love, unaware of the heavy consequences that come with accepting responsibility.

In A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, even though no one is held accountable for the crime, the concept of hiding the truth and fabricating a cover-up story gains significance. This becomes particularly important when Pippa chooses to keep the secret to shield Naomi and avoid causing more pain to her friend Cara Ward (Asha Banks), who has already lost a family member.

Who was the woman in the attic?

It turns out that infamous criminal Elliot has quite a history of heinous acts such as statutory rape, homicide, and extortion. In an unexpected twist, he unintentionally captures someone while on the move – it’s revealed that Pippa trailed him to the Ward family residence, which he had previously sold. When faced with confrontation, Elliot admits to having a relationship with Andie, but is cut off mid-confession by sounds coming from upstairs. In a fit of anger, Pippa rushes to the attic and discovers a girl who looks remarkably like her instead of Andie.

Following Sal’s tragic death, Elliot encounters Isla and initially assumes she is someone else named Andie. Upon recognizing his mistake, he invites Isla to spend a night at his house to clean up since she was homeless. With her teaching job and two daughters, Isla naturally trusts him and accepts the offer. However, later that night, Elliot, under the influence of alcohol, admits to killing Sal. As a result, he imprisons her in his home. Over time, he often returns to the house to provide her food, citing tutoring his daughters as the reason, although financially he couldn’t support such a claim. Essentially, Isla finds herself caught up in this unfortunate situation due to Elliot’s guilt over Sal’s murder.

The story shares similarities with Jane Eyre, a well-known novel by Emily Bront. Much like Jane, Isla uncovers hidden truths about her lover, Elliot. Unlike Mr. Rochester’s wife, however, Elliot’s secret isn’t revealed through a marriage of convenience, but rather an unexpected disclosure of his instability. The narrative also delves into power struggles, as Elliot exploits the trust of both Sal and Isla, even after unwittingly exposing his transgressions. This underscores the intricate nature of power dynamics within the novel.

Finally, who killed Andie Bell?

As a die-hard fan, let me clarify some facts about the mysterious case surrounding Andie’s death: While it’s essential to acknowledge that Elliot had a run-in with Andie over money, I must emphasize that this doesn’t automatically make him responsible for her murder. You see, Pippa found out that Elliot was nowhere near our beloved town when her precious pooch met its untimely end – it was the real murderer who struck then. Intriguingly, Andie had come to Elliot seeking a ransom of $5,000, but he bravely refused and sustained a severe head injury in the process. However, investigations have revealed that Andie’s assault and her subsequent murder were two separate incidents.

Upon coming home, Pippa’s sister Becca accosts her, pushing Ashton aside. Pippa subsequently guides Becca to Andie’s lifeless body, discovered deep within a hidden cave network at the base of an old mine pit. It was later revealed that the same malefactor had slain Pippa’s pet dog as well.

In this scenario, Becca, who held her sister in high regard yet frequently avoided duties and enjoyed partying, experienced a distressing event one evening. Max, having drugged her drink with a date-rape substance, sexually assaulted her. Andie, who had supplied the drug to Max, assisted Becca in obtaining the emergency contraceptive known as Plan B, but chose not to inform the authorities about the assault. This incident fostered resentment within Becca towards Andie, ultimately leading to a betrayal.

1. Pippa linked the buyer’s contacts to Max’s hidden social media profile, “Tangot!ts,” revealing a connection to the incident involving assault. Unfortunately, Pippa was drugged and left in Becca’s care, but Ravi and Cara stepped in to save her. This narrative highlights the strained relationships between siblings and the potential repercussions of neglecting duties.
