Good Bad Girl cover

The Queen of the Unexpected returns with another tale of pulse-pounding psychological suspense in which nobody can be trusted and the twists come fast and furious.

'An author you need to check out' - Harlan Coben, author of I Will Find You

'One of the best psychological thriller writers' - The Sun


From the author of His and Hers, soon to be a major TV series produced by Jessica Chastain.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people, so good people have to do bad things . . .


Twenty years after a baby is stolen from her push-chair, a woman is murdered in a care home. The two crimes are somehow linked, and a good bad girl may be the key to discovering the truth.

Edith may have been tricked into a nursing home, but at eighty-years-young, she’s planning her escape. Patience works there, cleaning up mess and bonding with Edith, a kindred spirit. But Patience is lying to Edith about almost everything.

Edith’s own daughter, Clio, won’t speak to her. And someone new is about to knock on Clio’s door . . . and their intentions aren’t good.

With every reason to distrust each other, the women must solve a mystery with three suspects, two murders, and one victim. If they do, they might just find out what happened to the baby who disappeared, the mother who lost her, and the connections that bind them.

The Queen of Twists, bestselling author of Daisy Darker and Rock Paper Scissors Alice Feeney, returns with another gripping mystery filled with drama and her trademark surprises in Good Bad Girl.
