Publisher's Summary

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.

A bit slow at times, but still had decent plot twists.

I feel like this book was a bit too confusing. The twists at the end all make sense and it came together well, however I felt the jumping between time zones got chaotic and messy.

The narration was well done.

Complex and fascinating

Initially I feared the story might become mired in evil aged care home misery. Luckily I was wrong and the story was twisty, richly drawn, unpredictable and truly satisfying.

Twisty and delicious

Couldn’t put this one down and desperately wanted to know if the baby would ever be found! In true Alice Feeney style, so many twists at the end!

Wow! Missing baby. Murder. Secrets

Where do I begin? Alice Feeney, you've just become my favourite author after smashing out one great novel after another.

Good Bad Girl hooks you right from the start by throwing suspense at you from the beginning. The story is told between 2 timelines: 20 years ago on Mother’s Day, a baby is snatched at a supermarket. In present day, we have four main female protagonists, each carrying their own secrets.

Good Bad Girl is a thought provoking novel that dives deep into complex mother/daughter relationships. Heart breaking at times, the book resonates on a deep level with it's exploration of traditional gender roles and how society expects women to respond in certain situations. Add a couple of murders to the mix and the unsolved mystery of a missing baby and THE Queen of Twisty Thrillers has done it again, with a big reveal right at the end.

Narration by Katherine Press was superb! Stephanie Racine is a great reader however, she sounds the same in every single Alice Feeney novel. It would be great if she varied (and lowered) her voice a little for different characters.

Under-hyped.

This is my fourth Alice Feeney novel and by far the best. I don’t understand why it’s not more hyped. Her others I found nonsensical at times or worse gratuitous with far too graphic SA scenes. But this is a breath of fresh air. Clever, endearing, and just perfection. I loved the narrators as always, some of the best on the app.

I don’t like it

Slow burn. A bit boring and a bit lighter than her other books. Not my cup of tea.
