About this listen

 A sharp-edged, supremely twisty thriller about three women who find themselves trapped inside stories they know aren’t their own, from the author of Alice and Near the Bone.

Celia wakes up in a house that’s supposed to be hers. There’s a little girl who claims to be her daughter and a man who claims to be her husband, but Celia knows this family—and this life—is not hers…

Allie is supposed to be on a fun weekend trip—but then her friend’s boyfriend unexpectedly invites the group to a remote cabin in the woods. No one else believes Allie, but she is sure that something about this trip is very, very wrong…

Maggie just wants to be home with her daughter, but she’s in a dangerous situation and she doesn’t know who put her there or why. She’ll have to fight with everything she has to survive…

Three women. Three stories. Only one way out. This captivating novel will keep readers guessing until the very end. Dark Fantasy Fantasy Suspense Thriller & Suspense Scary Fiction Paranormal

Critic reviews

“Henry comes out swinging in this clever, twisty thriller, and it’s a knockout! Full of mystery, horror, and women who’ve had enough, Good Girls Don’t Die is Christina Henry at her best. TikTok take note…you’re going to love this one!”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones and All Hallows

"For those who like their thrillers with a side of sci-fi: horror and dark fantasy author Christina Henry returns with a novel that would fit right into the “Black Mirror” universe."—The Seattle Times

“A thriller so deliciously original you'll want to devour it whole. Breakneck pacing, compelling characters, and clever meta threads elevate the tension and pull toward a stunning conclusion. An electrifying read."—Rachel Harrison, National bestselling author of Cackle and Such Sharp Teeth

“Henry has a lot of fun playing with genre here, but at its heart, this book is pure thriller… fast-paced and accessible.”—Publishers Weekly

"In this very satisfying thriller, three women wake up in strange versions of classic story set-ups...can this please be turned into a Black Mirror episode?"—CrimeReads

“Featuring a unique premise and culminating in an engaging twist, this book offers a poignant feminist horror story with strong women characters."—Library Journal

“Suspenseful, gritty, heartbreaking, and atmospheric with plenty of chills.”—Mystery & Suspense

“Good Girls Don’t Die is a great romp for any book lover.”—Game Vortex

I enjoyed the book. The concept was a refreshing change, As there are three point of views completely separate from each other that converge for the climax, I felt that the conclusion felt rushed and didn’t quite link them satisfactory. My other slight disappointment was managing my expectations - I felt the book read like YA (don’t get me wrong, I enjoy YA suspense) even though characters were adult women possibly in late 20s to 40s. I couldn’t adjust my expectations at all and that influenced my enjoyment.

With that said, I love Henry’s prose and by no means recommend against this book! Just go in with the right expectations.

Good, fast read

Suck a wasted premises. Very heavy handed and over all I didn't think it was well written. e.g. (milde spoiler) I'm arachnophobic and when I hear things about spiders I normally feel discomfort. There's a section in this book that is meant to be "ah scary spiders" and I felt nothing. This book felt lazy at times with it's man=bad with no nuance. Instead of this I remember Promising Young Women or The Handmaid's Tale.

Meh
