A NEW crime-thriller series filmed largely in Somerset is now available to watch on Netflix.

The BBC's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder was made available to watch in full on BBC iPlayer last month, but can now be accessed by Netflix users, as of Thursday, August 1.

The series is split up into six 45-minute episodes, each based on a section of the bestselling novel by Holly Jackson, published in 2019.

The majority of the story is based in the fictional village of Little Kilton, and filmed in Axbridge, near Cheddar, as well as other south-westerly locations including Redcliffe Caves, Avon Valley Railway Park, and the Bristolian suburb of Westbury-on-Trym.

The story follows the life of protagonist Pip Fitz-Amobi, an A-Level student who is undertaking her Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

For her project, Pip decides to delve into the murder of a fellow school student, which took place five years prior.

The case centres around schoolgirl Andie Bell who was presumed dead after going missing, with her at-the-time boyfriend pinned as the killer after confessing to her murder through a text message before he was also found dead, allegedly due to suicide.
