WINNER OF THE CRIME WRITERS' ASSOCIATION GOLD DAGGER AWARD FOR BEST CRIME NOVEL OF 2020

Don't miss the next electrifying Cyrus Haven thriller - When She Was Good, the Richard & Judy Book Club Pick for Summer 2021, is out.

'A gripping and eerie read. You won't be able to look away' Karin Slaughter, #1 international bestselling author

__________

The girl with no past.

Six years ago, Evie Cormac was discovered, filthy and half-starved, hiding in a secret room in the aftermath of a shocking crime. Now approaching adulthood, Evie is damaged, self-destructive and has never revealed her true identity.

The boy who survived.

Forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven, a man haunted by his own past, is investigating the death of champion figure-skater Jodie Sheehan. When Cyrus is called upon to assess Evie, she threatens to disrupt the case and destroy his ordered life. Because Evie has a unique and dangerous gift - she knows when someone is lying. And nobody is telling the truth.

Good Girl, Bad Girl is an unnerving psychological thriller from one of the greatest crime writers of today.

Predictable but the twist in the end was worth the wait. I miss Joseph O'Loughlin series.

Good story

I'm a big fan of Michael Robotham and was so glad when I saw that two more of his books were available on Audible. This series is set in Nottingham UK, though we don't get that much of a sense of the city itself.

The story is mostly told from the point of view of an early career psychologist, who is working part time for the police. I really enjoy the psychological angle in crime thrillers, it makes for an in depth story with some fascinating insights. He isn't exposed so much to the animosity and degrading treatment that criminal proflers seem to have suffered from various police force characters in earlier times, as depicted by other authors, which was getting a bit tiresome and old for me and started me wondering why people would continue to work in conditions where they were exposed to so much animosity in their workplace from their colleagues!

The second main protagonist is a young woman, who we first meet when she is in a secure children's home. Both main characters are likeable. We don't have in this story so much the point of view of the perpetrator/s, which makes it a lighter read/ listen than for instance some thrillers by Val McDermid or even some of the earlier thrillers by Michael Robotham in the Joe O'Loughlin series. The crimes are still really harrowing and awful though, but I guess it wouldn't be a crime thriller if it didn't have that in it!

I really like the voice of the new narrator, of course Sean Barrett was unrivalled in the Joe O'Laughlin series, but I think that the voice of Joe Jameson really works well for this new set of characters.

The lead detective comes across as a bit dry and brusque, at times I was thinking she should show a bit more compassion towards the families of victims. But it could just be professionalism I suppose. There is a bit of police procedural content as they work on the case of a missing figure skater, however that is not the main angle.

A note that while this is a stand alone book, but I wouldn't say that book 2 in this series, When She Was Good, is stand alone.

Excellent listen, lots of twists and turns

Don't read that many thrillers and this author was new to me. But this was a compelling plot with credible characters. Flagged a bit at times, but interest always maintained by the expert narrator and his many voices.

Compelling read

Would certainly recommend.

Addictive listening.
