About The Book
Can they get away with MURDER?
On a beautiful island off the English coast, four TV actresses gather. Their fifth member is missing – and only they know why she was killed.
As the secret between them threatens to come out, tensions on set run high.
The women are determined that the show must go on – whatever the cost.
But one of them is on the edge of telling the truth – and no soap opera in the world could survive this scandal…
All of the women have something to hide – but the question is, are they ALL GUILTY?
My Thoughts
I’ll admit that I started this book for the cover and I stayed for the fun! I am using the word “fun” in an ironic way, of course! But I have to say that this book had all the ingredients to make it a very interesting read.
The story is about the actors/actresses in a soap opera that is filmed on an English island; the rivalries, friendship and secrets they are hiding. Working for a long time with the same people makes you love/hate them; but one of them is ready for revenge.
This book is full of characters; at the beginning it is a little bit difficult to follow all of them, but the little summary at the beginning of the book helps it a lot! Also, even if this is the second book with these characters, you’ll not feel lost, the parts you need to know are detailed. But I can assure you it will make you pick the first book, with so many twists and intrigues to make you wonder how everything started!
I really felt like watching a soap opera full of twists and lies while I was reading this book, I loved it!
Now, you only need to know, if they will be getting away with murder! Because they are all guilty, believe me.
So, are you ready for “Guilty Women”?
About The Author
MELANIE BLAKE is the bestselling author of Ruthless Women, which became a Number 4 Sunday Times hardback bestseller and an ebook bestseller in 2021, selling over 150,000 copies. Guilty Women is her second novel about the cast of Falcon Bay, and her first with HarperFiction.
Growing up in a working-class household with severe dyslexia, Melanie has her own Rags to Riches story, just like that of her characters – at 15 she was told by her school career advisors that her decision to work at a record shop was ‘a clear example that she wouldn’t go far in her career’. They were wrong. By 19 she was working at the BBC’s iconic Top of the Pops show and by 26 she had built a reputation as one of the UK’s leading music and entertainment managers. She also created her own acting agency from scratch which became the most successful independent boutique agency in the UK. Melanie still represents a high-profile stable of actresses, but is also now enjoying success in her own right as a author, playwright and producer.
