Child Brunswick is the name given to a child who assisted in the murder of six children. He lured them to his father, who then mutilated and murdered them. Child Brunswick was sentenced in 2003 to five years in prison, at the age of 13.

Layla uses Jamie Reynolds to lure out two men—Luke Eaton and Stanley Forbes—and find out which one was Child Brunswick. She does this by telling Jamie that one of them is a stalker, and to say the words "Child Brunswick" to them. She instructs Jamie to kill the one who reacts to the phrase. Stanley Forbes reacts and knocks the knife out of Jamie's hand. He then takes Jamie to his home and locks him inside to prevent him from escaping and endangering his new identity.

Pip, the protagonist of the novel, confronts Stanley Forbes, and Charlie shoots him. Stanley tries to protect Pip from danger and expresses his disappointment in his father. Charlie and his wife go on the run.

Who is Stanley Forbes?

Stanley Forbes is a character in Holly Jackson's book series "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder". In the first book, Pip, the protagonist, interviews Stanley to get more information about the Andie Bell/Sal Singh case. Stanley is revealed to have called Sal a "murderer", "killer", and "monster", strongly indicating that he believed Sal was responsible for Andie's supposed murder. Stanley also reveals that he believes Sal's Indian heritage must have played a role in his supposed motive, saying that he thinks Indians treat women as "their possessions".

In the second book, "Good Girl, Bad Blood", Stanley is revealed to be the cause of Jamie Reynolds' disappearance. Stanley, who was in love with a catfish called Layla Mead (revealed to be Charlie Green), had been ordered by 'Layla' to meet two men, Luke Eaton, and Jamie Reynolds. Jamie was instructed to say the words "Child Brunswick", and whoever reacted was her stalker. This was because Charlie's sister, Emily Nowell, was killed by Scot Brunswick, who forced his son, Child Brunswick, to help. Stanley is Child Brunswick, and was given a fake name to hide his true identity.

When Jamie says "Child Brunswick" to Stanley, he reacts, and Jamie attacks him with a yellow knife. Stanley defends himself, and kidnaps Jamie. Stanley then has a conversation with Jamie, and treats him with immense kindness. Stanley is eventually shot by Charlie, and in his final moments, reveals his name was Jack Brunswick, then David Knight, then Stanley Forbes.

Who is Jamie Reynolds?

Jamie Reynolds is the eldest child of Arthur and Joanna Reynolds. He has two younger siblings, Zoe and Connor Reynolds. Jamie is described as being of a larger size, with dirty blond or brownish hair. He is emotional and intense, with a dark sense of humour. He has a problem with responsibilities, having dropped out of college and failed at jobs due to a lack of motivation. He is impulsive and irresponsible, often running away from home. He has a close relationship with his mother and brother, but does not get along with his father, with whom he has a lot of unspoken issues.

Jamie is the subject of an investigation led by Pip, who believes that the police are not doing enough to solve the case. Jamie is obsessed with a person who manipulates him into doing strange missions, such as beating up a stranger, and ultimately, killing Child Brunswick. However, Jamie fails to kill Child Brunswick and admits that he never wanted to carry out the crime in the first place.

Jamie's disappearance is investigated by his friend Pippa "Pip" Fitz-Amobi, who works to find him after his family reports him missing. Pippa discovers that Jamie had become close to a girl called Layla Mead online, who was catfishing him. Layla Mead's images were taken from another girl at school. Pippa finds out that whoever was pretending to be Layla had only been contacting men who fit a specific age range and appearance. Jamie lied about his age to Layla, and when he came clean, she began ignoring him. Desperate, he offers to do anything for her, and she puts him through tests such as stealing money. It is eventually revealed that Layla Mead is a fake persona created by Charlie Green and his wife, who are intent on finding Child Brunswick, a child whose father was a serial killer, and who was forced to assist with the capture and disposal of children. Charlie's sister had been killed by Child Brunswick's father, and he is seeking revenge.

Jamie is manipulated by Layla/Charlie into confronting two suspects and attacking the one who reacts to the phrase "Child Brunswick". This person is Stanley Forbes, who knocks the knife out of Jamie's hand and brings him to his home, locking him in the bathroom to prevent him from escaping and endangering his new identity. However, Jamie and Stanley eventually become friends, and work together to uncover Layla/Charlie's true identity.
