Bloomsbury presents Hot Girl Murder Club by Ashley Winstead, read by Brittany Pressley.

'As bold and biting as its title... Winstead is a master of smart, compulsive suspense' JENEVA ROSE

From INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING author Ashley Winstead comes a buzzy, bloody new thriller about success, sisterhood, and demanding justice… by any means necessary.

Wronged women always want revenge. But how far is too far?

When powerful men begin turning up dead across Los Angeles, suspicion falls on emerging pop star Scout Sage. Still haunted by her sister’s mysterious death, Scout faces the collapse of her career, her reputation, and her tenuous belief in justice.

Assigned to the case is Detective Grey Holloway, whose own history sharpens every judgement. As Grey digs deeper, she uncovers whispers of the so-called Hot Girl Murder Club – a covert sisterhood of ambitious women rising through Hollywood. Women who are done waiting for the men in charge to deliver what's right, bent instead on taking it for themselves.

But are they correcting a broken system - or creating a far more dangerous one?

Critic reviews

Edgy and tense, Hot Girl Murder Club takes on the dark side of fame and fortune. A twisty tale of sisterhood and murder where everyone has a motive and no one is safe. This is Ashley Winstead at her best! (Ashley Elston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins)
Ashley Winstead delivers another razor-smart, wildly entertaining thriller with Hot Girl Murder Club—a book that’s as bold and biting as its title and as unputdownable as her best work. Winstead is a master of smart, compulsive suspense. (Jeneva Rose, #1 New York Times bestselling author)
'This is the Ashley Winstead thriller you’ve been waiting for—dark, atmospheric, timely, and tense...An ode to the families we’re born into—and the ones we build from the ashes, Hot Girl Murder Club is a pulse-pounding investigation into stardom, sisterhood, and the wildfire of female rage.'
'Hot Girl Murder Club features Ashley Winstead at her absolute finest, firing on all her signature thriller cylinders and wielding the pen like a proper Raymond Chandler in the time of the Kardashians. With her foot firmly on the gas from beginning to end, top down in Tinseltown, readers will be left gasping at the seemingly endless twists and turns, like a night ride down Mulholland after the afterparty. As glamorous as it is gritty, Winstead's latest is a white-hot barnburner of a novel so ferociously feminist, you'll finish the last page ready to light the match yourself!'
If scrolling through the news makes you want to throw your phone across the room, this book is the cathartic fantasy you’ve been waiting for. Hot Girl Murder Club looks, at first glance, like a straight-up revenge story—women finally getting delicious payback from the men who hurt them. But Ashley Winstead is doing something sharper here, using rage, wit, and jaw-dropping twists to capture the exhaustion of living in this moment. Blisteringly fun and bracingly astute, Hot Girl Murder Club is escapism with a bite. (Stephanie Wrobel, internationally bestselling author of The Hitchcock Hotel)
Wild, brutal and incendiary, this book is a Molotov cocktail big enough to catch readers' hearts in its flames. (John Fram, critically acclaimed author of The Bright Lands and The Midnight Knock)
Prepare to meet your next summer binge read: Ashley Winstead’s Hot Girl Murder Club is literally one of the most addictive, juiciest thrillers I’ve ever read! I couldn’t get enough of Winstead’s evocative backdrop of glittering yet menacing Hollywood and her sharply-drawn, unforgettable protagonist Scout with her collection of stiletto-clad hot girls consumed with ambition. NOBODY does explosive female relationships and power dynamics quite like Winstead and I’m calling it now: Hot Girl Murder Club will be the book of summer!” (May Cobb, bestselling author of The Hunting Wives)
