## Biography

#### A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

The first book revolves around Pippa Fitz-Amobi investigating the case of who killed Andie Bell and trying to clearead wife, Isabel, had made, causing Elliot to push Andie to stop her and she hit her head on a desk, causing a head injury.

Andie’s insensitive response caused a fight between the two, Becca pushed Andie, causing Andie to fall and choke on her own vomit and Becca Bell, thinking that she had caused this, hid Andie in the septic tank of an old farmhouse.

#### As Good as Dead

Pip, after interviewing Harriet Hunter, the sister of one of the DT killer's 4th victim Julia Hunter, in hopes of getting more information about the DT killer since Pip believes he is stalking her, Harriet talks about the aftermath of her sister's murder, mentioning Andie by saying the latter reached out to comfort Harriet. Harriet says that they communicated via emails, and Pip asks to see the conversations they had. Pip thinks this is very out of character for Andie, so she hacks into the account Andie used to communicate with Harriet Hunter (It should be noted that Andie didn't use her main account and used a backup one instead). Pip then finds the unsent email written in the account. It stated that she, Andie, knew who the DT killer is. She never explicitly states it, but Pip gathers that DT is very close to the Bell family. Andie states in the email that she is trying to get away from home and plans to bring Becca along with her. This is the reason behind her relationship with Elliot Ward. She tried to manipulate him into letting her get into a good college, then planned on bringing Becca along.

All of this is because Jason Bell is the DT killer. Andie saw Jason with Juliet Hunter, Harriet's sister. Then six days later, Juliet is dead. Andie, connecting the dots, comes to the dreadful realization that her own father is a murderer. Being a big sister, Andie forms her plans to get both her and Becca away from home to keep them safe.

## Personality

She’s described as someone to be involved in drama often. She is also described to have narcissistic traits, even one time implying that her sister, Becca Bell, should be happy that someone “noticed” her, for she was the “ugly” version of her (Andie Bell). She is seen to show humane moments and feelings while around both her boyfriend (Sal Singh) and her friends. Although she is described as being manipulative. In A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, her friends describe her as someone who had constant mood swings. She has a very close and intimate relationship with her boyfriend though.
