The Guilty Girl

11.98

When the call comes in about a 17-year-old girl murdered after the secret party she held in her parents’ home, Detective Lottie Parker is first on the scene. As she picks her way through the smashed glasses and the blood spatter on the cream carpet, she is horrified to see Lucy’s angelic face, silvery-blue eyes forever closed. As Lottie breaks the news to Lucy’s parents and the partygoers, she discovers that hours before her death Lucy had revealed a terrible secret about her friend Hannah. When Lottie finds Lucy’s bloodstained clothing hidden in Hannah’s bedroom, she has no option but to bring the frightened girl into custody. But Hannah claims to have no memory of the night Lucy died and Lottie begins to question her guilt. Then a 15-year-old boy who also attended the party is pulled from the canal. And as Lottie investigates, she discovers her own son Sean was at the party.

Something whistling through the door behind her caused her to turn. A shadow spread across the opening. She clasped a hand to her mouth, stilling the fear that was rising. The menacing shadow was followed by a face that sent a cold shiver down her spine...

'Amazing! Could not put it down and read until my eyes couldn't cope anymore. 10/10 and would recommend to anyone who loves a good page turner.' Netgalley reviewer, *****

'One of the best books I have read this year... Dark, intense and definitely not what I was expecting. The Guilty Girl had me sat on the edge of my seat, this book is definitely my type of book. My advice to readers is switch off your phone, order a takeaway and tuck into this fantastic five star read from one of my favourite authors.' Netgalley reviewer, *****
