By: Alice Feeney

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

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

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

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.

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.

Critic reviews

Daisy Darker is clever, compelling, confounding and absolutely delicious. (Lisa Jewell on Daisy Darker)

Wow! Echoes of Christie's And Then There Were None but turned into something wonderfully original and wrapped in a genuinely creepy dysfunctional family fairy tale of a novel, this takes Feeney to the next level. LOVED IT! (Sarah Pinborough on Daisy Darker)

Wow, I absolutely loved it. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was an absolute thrill (Taylor Jenkins Reid on Daisy Darker)

This book is all kinds of twisty, and it's SO much fun (Praise for Daisy Darker)

Slow and complicated

I didn’t like it at all. Tried and restarted several times before I got the hang of this one (avid listener) Back and forth, to many names and a complete and highly unlikely story.

Not her best

Overall this wasn’t terrible, but it isn’t one of Alice’s best books. The plot line was solid and there were a few surprises I didn’t see coming, but it was over long and a bit repetitive. I increased the playback speed about half way, just to get through it.

Narration was great and I was able to differentiate between the quite large cast of characters and pretty easily.
