About this listen
An atmospheric psychological thriller with a gothic twist from the author of The Red House.
A BIZARRE SERIES OF DEATHS
In the Cornish village of Peneerie, a tragedy is unfolding. Girls are dying on their seventeenth birthdays and no one can explain why. Some say it’s a curse; others a psychological phenomenon known as suicide contagion. What Kat knows is her daughter Ruby’s birthday is fast approaching.
A CURSE AWOKEN
Villagers talk anxiously of Eliza, a serving girl in the local manor house who took her own life on her seventeenth birthday nearly two hundred years ago. She cursed the girls of the village to never see womanhood.
A MOTHER PREPARED TO DO ANYTHING
Kat is determined that Ruby won’t be the next to die, by any means necessary. As she races to unravel Eliza’s Curse, Kat will have to confront the ghosts of the past and shocking truths about the world she lives in. But how far will she go to protect her daughter? And what will it cost to break the cycle of tragedy before it’s too late?

'An atmospheric and immersive thriller with ouija boards, curses and toxic masculinity – loved it.' Catherine Cooper
‘I love Roz Watkins’ books and The Wicked Girls is no exception. A memorable and timely read, written with a strong sense of place and weighty themes, and featuring her usual eminently believable, often flawed characters. I couldn’t put it down.’ Louise Voss
