Emily is an incredibly vulnerable woman fractured by the trauma of her past. Kate is a high-powered career woman, unafraid of fighting for what she wants but always with bags of integrity. Ginger is a mother of three whose family are driving her to distraction. But it’s the brilliantly fierce, flawed and unforgettable female characters at the heart of the novel which made me fall for it head over heels. You’ll want to lose yourself for hours in the unsettling glitz and glamour of the West Coast setting, and the intricately woven mystery surrounding the identity of the dead man, the circumstances of his death and the involvement of the women will have you practically ripping out the pages in pursuit of answers. Set in the sumptuous Serenity Resort in California, Pretty Guilty Women follows four women as they attend the wedding of an old friend where, just 24 hours in, they each confess to the murder of the same man. Then I read Pretty Guilty Women by Gina LaManna. I’d never been that hooked on a story before. Between episodes we would unpick all that had happened in the last and make detailed (and, as it invariably turned out, wildly inaccurate) predictions about what the next would bring. I never thought I’d be able to replicate the weekend when my best friends and I holed up for two whole days to binge watch the entire first series of Big Little Lies.
