RaveThe Guardian (UK)... shocking, mesmerising ... Faleiro uses the structures of a true crime narrative. The need in the reader to understand these painfully premature deaths and make sense of the world, means that the real objective of The Good Girls – to turn and face the factual horror of inequality – is skilfully masked ... Faleiro is a judicious writer...the prose in The Good Girls is full of precise intention. Facts are presented without the electric burn of outrage ... The author will not hold your hand as you navigate this mystery; instead you are encouraged to solve it yourself ... a beautifully calibrated book, full of suspense to the final pages, urging us to walk into that night and listen.
