Publisher’s Summary

Twenty years after a baby is stolen from a stroller, a woman is murdered in a care home. The two crimes are somehow linked, and a good bad girl may be the key to discovering the truth.

Edith may have been tricked into a nursing home, but at eighty-years-young, she’s planning her escape. Patience works there, cleaning messes and bonding with Edith, a kindred spirit. But Patience is lying to Edith about almost everything.

Edith’s own daughter, Clio, won’t speak to her. And someone new is about to knock on Clio’s door…and their intentions aren’t good.

With every reason to distrust each other, the women must solve a mystery with three suspects, two murders, and one victim. If they do, they might just find out what happened to the baby who disappeared, the mother who lost her, and the connections that bind them.

In the style of Daisy Darker and Rock Paper Scissors, Good Bad Girl is a thriller in which nobody can be trusted and the twists come fast and furious.

My Review

Alice Feeney holds a special place in my heart as my favorite author, and I’m lucky enough to have a personalized, signed copy of her work. I had the pleasure of meeting her during her New York book tour for “Daisy Darker,” an experience that made this book even more meaningful to me.

“Good Bad Girl” had moments of brilliance, but I found myself grappling with a few aspects. The intricate web of connections between characters was both intriguing and challenging. Each chapter revealed new ties, and at times, it became a bit overwhelming. I occasionally found myself struggling to discern which point of view I was immersed in, especially in the “beginning” and “ending” scenes.

Despite these complexities, Feeney’s undeniable talent shines through. While this particular book didn’t entirely align with my expectations, I look forward to future works, as every author’s journey is a dynamic one.

Rivers are like people. They change, they go where they have to. Sometimes they don’t look like themselves but they’re still who they are.

There is always a reason why people behave the way that they do. Sometimes bad people are just sad people in disguise.
