Description
'An electrifying read! If you like your thrillers pulsing with tension, you're going to LOVE Good Girls Die Last!' LESLEY KARA
'Impossible to put down... I absolutely loved it.' ANDREA MARA
'Brilliant' WOMAN & HOME
'This thought-provoking thriller confronts what it means to be a woman in today's world' WOMAN'S WEEKLY
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 fiancee'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.
