Holly Jackson @ MCM Comic Con London 2024

On the first day of MCM Comic Con fans got to see author Holly Jackson on the Creator Stage.

The author is in attendance at the UK’s biggest pop culture event to promote the upcoming adaption of her YA mystery bestseller A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder.

The Spotlight panel focused more on the author’s work than the upcoming BBC3 show. We learned about the challenges of setting your stories in another country as well as peculiar naming trends that she has picked up. Throughout the discussion the author was impressed and drew attention to some of the many attendees who come to MCM Comic Con in Cosplay.

Jackson’s new book is The Reappearance of Rachel Price, we learned what inspired her to write it. She also spoke about why she sets stories in the US instead of the UK with a funny story from her travels.

A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder

A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder is the first in the trilogy. All instalments have topped the Sunday Times and NYT bestsellers list. The upcoming BBC 3 adaption of the novel series consists of six episodes and stars Emma Myers, Zain3 Iqbal, Asha Banks, Anna Maxwell Martin, Gary Beadle and Mathew Baynton. The show will appear later Netflix internationally.

Jackson will also be attending the A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder panel on Saturday. That will be with the cast of the show and the lead director on the Main Stage.
