About this listen

When her best friend Billie is found murdered, eleven-year-old Thera – fearless and forthright – considers it her duty to find the killer.

Aided by a Ouija board, Billie’s ghost, and the spirits of four other dead girls, she’s determined to succeed. The trouble with Thera, though, is that she doesn’t always know when to stop – and sometimes there’s a fine line between doing the right thing and doing something very, very bad indeed.

Tense, visceral and thought-provoking, Dead Girls is the new novel from Abigail Tarttelin, the critically acclaimed author of Golden Boy.

Critic reviews

Terrific. A poignant, brave and important book (S J Watson, author of Before I Go to Sleep, on Golden Boy)
Sometimes brutal, often tender, and always compelling (Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven, on Golden Boy)
Gripping. Tarttelin is a natural storyteller (Matt Haig, author of The Humans and How to Stop Time, on Golden Boy)
Harriet the Spy is all grown up – and readying herself to take on the darkness of the adult world. This somehow manages to combine mystery, thriller, horror, and a lovely elegy to lost friendship . . . Completely unforgettable (Emma Flint, author of Little Deaths)
Feminist, bold, shocking, packed with little epiphanies (Shelley Harris, author of Jubilee and Vigilante)
All stars

This dark narrative of revenge on the one hand versus the journey of the wonder years makes this a twisted satire that will keep you gripped from start to finish.

Deeply thought provoking and brilliantly crafted

An original storyline told with insight from the perspective of an 11 year old girl. The narration was beautiful and fitted perfectly with Thera’s personality. I could not stop listening.
