Synopsis

The truth is sometimes darker than fiction, in this gripping psychological thriller from the author of My Husband the Murderer. When Caroline walks into the bustling bar of a hotel on a Friday afternoon, no one could have predicted what is about to unfold. With chilling precision, she pulls out a gun and shoots her lover five times in cold blood. The crime, committed in plain sight, leaves no room for doubt—Caroline is guilty. But when questioned, she offers no explanation and refuses to comment. As the case explodes across media outlets, a popular true-crime podcast begins to dig deeper into Caroline's life. Soon, her writing becomes the key to understanding her past—and potentially, the dark secrets she has yet to reveal. As her defense attorney scrambles to defend her, one question lingers: What happens when a killer rewrites their own story? And as her trial approaches, whispers grow about a manuscript she’s writing from prison—one that might reveal far more than anyone expected… A Guilty Woman is perfect for fans of true crime, psychological thrillers, and dark literary mysteries.

I finished this book awhile ago but I had a difficult time writing a review for it. Mostly because I felt bored and by the end it had become a chore to finish. What's there to say about a book where it's the rehashing of the same information over and over again? Caroline Geel is a woman who seems pe......more

Goodreads review by Ari on March 17, 2025

Ok so I found this book mostly irritating but I gave the book a highish rating because of the uniqueness. First, hold on my friends because, quite accidentally, one of my most favourite songs fits the review, so if want, check ending haha. So the author tries to make the book smart, and, although she......more
