Good Girls Don't Die

By: Christina Henry

Narrated by: Lisa Flanagan

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 listeners guessing until the very end.

Critic reviews

"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

TikTok take note…you’re going to love this one!”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones and All Hallows

Unless you’re looking for hours of nonstop discussions about hating all men, avoid.

I felt compelled to write a review to hopefully save someone else the time in reading this book. The concept could have been good, but the constant man hating speeches and themes were very over the top. The first few instances I moved past, but it is literally the entire book. A bit disturbing. Avoid.

Omg

I wish they wld of reunited with the people who put them in there. But stil I rly liked it! Exciting!

Definitely NOT a Thriller

This book just basically took the maze runner, the game…and made it into this girl’s reality. It was so boring to read and very painful to listen to:(

The woman reading the story was good.

I did not enjoy the man hate that this story divulged in to. It was very off putting.

Just didn’t quite have it

I usually like Christina Henry’s books. This wasn’t it. I can’t even say it was predictable. It just…. wasn’t good. It was not up to the par of her normal writing. The character dialogue felt very forced. I wouldn’t recommend. The storyline is quite average.

Confused and then WOW!!!

I found the book to be so confusing for the longest time. I almost didn’t finish it! I am so glad I stuck around because the ending was well worth it!

Interesting storyline

Surprised how the three stories ended up coming together at the end. Little heavy on the hate men issue, but good read

That was …….. something

I’ll be honest . I am a feminist and pretty liberal but I am not sure how I felt about this story . It was fantastic up until the end when it turned out to be a bunch of bored rich white men. I suppose the story was meant to be a parallel to what women go through in society but it just seemed like low hanging fruit . I was very disappointed . I loved the first part with Celine but the ending just tried too hard . So much could have been done with the plot but the ending left the same feeling as the last season of Game of Thrones.

Very Fun, but probably not for everyone

I loved this little tale of how 3 different characters and scenarios get tied together in the end. It was faced paced, interesting, fun to read, etc. I found it to be very entertaining. I couldn't stop reading the book. But....BUT... it goes a bit too hard on the 'men are bad' angle. Just a bit much for me. I am the kind of person that thinks we need to find ways to bring people together, not pick at differences till we are all at each others throats. It wasn't enough to make me dislike the book, but if that sort of thing bothers you. (and I can see people being offended, because it's kinda offensive) might want to think hard before trying it. I think this is a good book, I think most people would enjoy this story, but it might turn off some readers.

Best 9 hrs lol

Got everything done because I couldn’t stop listening . Definitely would recommend a very good listening.
