Good Girls Die Last

By: Natali Simmonds

Narrated by: Charlie Sanderson

A tense, furious and gripping thriller that asks does silence keep women safe - or protect those harming them? Perfect for fans of MY DARK VANESSA and I MAY DESTROY YOU.

Today, nothing is going right for Em. And it's about to get much worse.

Heartbroken by a recent split, with her 30th birthday looming, she loses her job and her home in the same morning because of two swaggering, dishonest men - the boss who sexually harassed her and the flatmate sleeping with her behind his fiancée's back. But all Em can think about is catching a flight to attend her sister's wedding and see her dying mother.

With a record-breaking heatwave, and a serial killer making the streets unsafe, London is completely gridlocked. Em's life has always been full of men getting their own way, and today the scorched city teems with them standing between her and home. As Em's troubled past returns to haunt her, she refuses to let them win. Her defiance leads to shocking consequences that soon spiral wildly out of control.

In a world where men don't listen, and girls have no voice, one woman can change everything.

Today, no one will be staying silent.

"A fearless and explosive thriller, one moment terrifying, the next intimate. Warning: it is impossible to put this book down!" (A. J. West, Sunday Times bestselling author)

"Blisteringly powerful, devastatingly timely and utterly gripping - Good Girls Die Last is as empowering as it is thrilling. A sunkissed nightmare of a book. I loved it!" (Bea Fitzgerald, author of Girl, Goddess, Queen)

Frustrating, relatable, and beautiful.

“It’s not the big things that send you over the edge, it’s the little things. The stuff that sneaks up on you, when your holding onto the things that matter.”

I was hooked pretty quickly. The story was relatable on so many levels, from a shirt too tight, to the phone battery too low, and of course being a women in a world where we are expect to put our head down and “be good.” It was frustrating, suspenseful in ways I wasn’t expecting, and tied together beautiful.
