The Wicked Girls: A Novel

â€œThe suspense keeps the pages flying, but what sets this one apart is the palpable sense of onrushing doom.â€ â€”Stephen King, â€œThe Best Books I Read This Yearâ€

Alex Marwoodâ€™s new book,Â The Darkest Secret, is available now from Penguin Books

The Edgar Award-winning psychological thriller that asks the questionâ€”how well can you know anyone?

On a fateful summer morning in 1986, two eleven-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, itâ€™s the first time theyâ€™ve seen each other since that dark day so many years ago. Now with new, vastly different livesâ€”and unknowing families to protectâ€”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 youâ€™ve read it, The Wicked GirlsÂ takes you to a thrillingly dark place youâ€™ve never been before. For fans ofÂ Gillian Flynn, Liane Moriarty, and Tana French.

â€œThe Wicked GirlsÂ is ingenious and original. Real, chilling, true to its world and its characters. In short, a knock-out.â€ â€”Laura Lippman,Â New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ And When She Was GoodÂ andÂ What the Dead KnowÂ
