The Good Girl

by Mary Kubica

'A tremendous read' The Sun 'A twisty rollercoaster ride' Lisa Gardner

Now optioned for a major movie by the company behind Winter's Bone, Babel, Being John Malkovich and the TV series True Detective.

A compulsive debut that reveals how, even in the perfect family, nothing is as it seems...

I've been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her groceries, where she has her dry cleaning done, where she works. I don't know the colour of her eyes or what they look like when they're scared. But I will.

Mia Dennett can't resist a one-night stand with the enigmatic stranger she meets in a bar.

But going home with him might turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia's life...

I. Loved. This. Book. I found myself thoroughly absorbed, reading past my bedtime and fighting to read just one more page. I absolutely adore when the author flips between before and after, giving me, the reader, the opportunity to make predictions. This was done quite deftly by Kubica. She also did a superb job of painting the whole picture for me. I could see and feel the situation in almost every scene. I felt an emotional connection to Colin, Mia, Eve and even Gabe. And I have to say, with respect to the ending, I did not see that coming. Great read.
