Publisher's Summary

Edgar Award Winner, Best Paperback Original, 2014

On a fateful summer morning in 1986, two 11-year-old girls meet for the first time. By the end of the day, they will both be charged with murder. Twenty-five years later, journalist Kirsty Lindsay is reporting on a series of sickening attacks on young female tourists in a seaside vacation town when her investigation leads her to interview carnival cleaner Amber Gordon.

For Kirsty and Amber, it's the first time they've seen each other since that dark day so many years ago. Now with new, vastly different lives - and unknowing families to protect - will they really be able to keep their wicked secret hidden? Gripping and fast-paced, with an ending that will stay with you long after you've listened to it, The Wicked Girls will appeal to fans of the Academy Award–nominated film Heavenly Creatures and the novels of Rosamund Lupton and Chevy Stevens.

Disappointing

I made it almost half way through this audiobook and thought it was drawing to a close (at that point). It had been pretty obvious who the serial killer was for some time and the girls had met and discovered each other's basic life paths. I randomly looked at how much time was left and it was over six hours! For a book that was already dragging things out, I couldn't bear another six hours, I read one other Alex Marwood in the past and enjoyed that book, so I figured I'd give this one a try. Definitely disappointed.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
