APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This riveting sequel to 2019’s Good Girl, Bad Girl builds the elusive backstory of rebellious teen Evie Cormac who, six years earlier, made headlines after being found at a horrific crime scene. As forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven seeks to discover her true identity, Evie finds herself under threat even behind the closed doors of a children’s home. Once again alternating between the perspectives of Cyrus and Evie, the story moves forward at a rapid clip without shirking on psychological payoff. And despite its palpable tension and grim revelations, When She Was Good also delivers more laugh-out-loud irreverence from Evie. As linked survivors of tragedy, this unlikely pair ranks amongst the most engaging characters in contemporary crime fiction.
