About this listen
One summer morning, three little girls meet for the first time. By the end of the day, two will 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 town when her investigation leads her to interview funfair cleaner Amber Gordon. For Kirsty and Amber, it's the first time they've seen each other since that dark day when they were just children. But with new lives - and families - to protect, will they really be able to keep their wicked secret hidden?

Critic reviews
Where does The Wicked Girls rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best books I've listened to since I joined Audible so I feel compelled to write a review for the first time.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Wicked Girls?
The pace was relentless and tantalising, giving a gradual understanding of what happened in the past - and why, seemingly inevitable. It shows how stories can be distorted, how the media twist facts (and pictures) to present their stories. How children can be shaped by their expériences and the conséquences in their lives and those of others.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I really wanted to know what was going to happen, feeling for the two main characters, willing them to survive. I was almost afraid of coming to the conclusion, had a sinking feeling that it would all end in tears, in disaster, but I feel the author pulled the rabbit out of her hat and finally the book was a triumph.Any additional comments?
This will remain in my mind for a very long time and serve as a reminder not to take news stories at face value!Thought-provoking

I loved this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the feeling of trepidation, the feeling of wanting good things to happen to good people, the desire return those who are rotten to the sewer from whence they came. Thoroughly recommended.....Beautiful youth damaged

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, kept me interested the whole way through and really develops into a thought provoking story that you feel really involved with. Good pace although potentially slow to begin with, however I didn't feel like it rushed at the end making it satisfying and enjoyable.What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
the subject is slightly unpleasant which made me fear it coming, but the character build up is so good you really feel for them and wonder what you would do in a similar situation.What about Anna Bentinck’s performance did you like?
Some of the accents of the male characters are slightly annoying but keeps it really clear and pleasant to listen toWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The ending, kept thinking what would I do? Where would I go?Any additional comments?
Would read any follow up as would live to know what happened to the characters nextGreat characters - sad to get to the end
