Story
Who can you turn to if not the police? Essex, Christmas Day. As the residents of a small town enjoy their mince pies, shots ring out in the street. Five people are gunned down before the lone shooter turns his weapon on himself. Grace Fisher, now Detective Inspector, is tasked with making some sense of this atrocity - all the more sensitive because the first of the victims was one of their own: a police officer.

When a body is found in a locked house, Detective Sergeant Jessica Daniel is left to not only find the killer but discover how they got in and out. With little in the way of leads and a journalist who seems to know more about the case than she does, Jessica is already feeling the pressure - and that's before a second body shows up in identical circumstances to the first. How can a murderer get to victims in seemingly impossible situations and what, if anything, links the bodies?

Story
Women are rarely cold-blooded killers. But when famous philanthropist Hugo Fletcher is found dead, there is no doubt in anybody's mind that the killer is a woman. And it is clear from the precision of the planning that this was no crime of passion. It was an execution. The victim was revered the world over for his charitable work with trafficked Eastern European prostitutes, and as at least one of these girls is missing, Detective Chief Inspector Tom Douglas is certain that there has to be a connection.

Summary
Sometimes the danger is too close to see. A dark and gripping crime thriller introducing DI Grace Fisher.
Accused of grassing up a fellow officer and driven brutally out of home and job, DI Grace Fisher is thankful to survive some dark times and find haven with the Major Investigation Team in Essex. Any hopes of a quiet start to her new life are dashed by the discovery of the body of a female student, last seen at a popular bar in Colchester. Grace has her first case.
When a second student, also out drinking, is murdered and left grotesquely posed, the case becomes headline news.
Someone is leaking disturbing details to a tabloid crime reporter. Is it the killer? Or a detective close to the case?
With another victim dead, and under siege by the media, the murder inquiry hits a dead end. The review team brought in to shake things up is headed by Grace's old DCI. Who is going to listen to her now?

Excellent
It's very rare that a book hooks me from the start like this. I really got a feeling for the characters early on and they had their own personalities which really gave the story depth. The narrator did an excellent job of bringing those personalities through too.
I really hope this is the beginning of a series for grace fisher, I will be keeping an eye out for the next one!

Good, but too long!
What did you like best about Good Girls Don't Die? What did you like least?
Its well written, with well drawn characters. It would have been at least a 4* if not that it was too drawn out. It needed editing down. It was a good story, but I lost interest from time to time because it just went on, and on. Should have been tighter.
What does Melody Grove bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Her narration is excellent here.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
Yes.

Faulty recording but a very good, well read story
One of the early chapters was randomly repeated as chapter 15 or 16 but apart from that minor irritation it was a very good book, I enjoyed it. I liked the narrator it was well read and easy to listen to. I will look out for more from this author.

Didn't expect to enjoy this audible book
Never having heard or read anything by Isabelle Grey, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
A good plausible story, well written and reasonably fast paced.
Will now download others of hers.

Dull and disappointing
Unfortunately this book wasn't to my liking. The story is long and exceptionally dragged out. There is no drama and no thrill. It's just a plain descriptive story. It was a nice theory about the killer but not well written at all.

Nice to listen to a story that doesn't use or need graphic sexual content , nicely written explaining a women's struggle in a male dominated environment without banging on about the injustice of it or women's Lib and very well narrated by Melody Grove .

Worth a listen and well narrated
Like another reviewer I wasn't sure what to expect but I actually enjoyed this listen. Not the normal gore but a more 'lighter' thriller.
Good story and background for the lead character Grace - hopefully ther will be more from her?
All in all a good purchase.
