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.”

Little Kilton is getting a few new residents, and their arrival is going to shake things up. The new cast includes:
- Eden H. Davies (Tell Me Everything) as Jamie Reynolds: Connor’s brother and a quiet but popular local musician whose sudden disappearance kicks off the season’s central mystery.

Author Holly Jackson couldn’t be more thrilled with the new additions. “Eden is sensational as our Jamie, his presence felt throughout, even though he’s missing,” Jackson shared. “Misia is the perfect Stanley Forbes, delivering a truly heart-wrenching performance. And Jack as Charlie Green is simply extraordinary: I had to stand and clap at the monitors. Just you wait.”
