Review:

‘Hiding behind the deceptively delightful surface of Elizabeth Woodcraft’s debut lurk complicated questions of power and sex, of the varieties of abuse and the failures of the justice system. Good Bad Woman is an unchained medley of love, loss, laughter and the law’
Val McDermid

From the Back Cover:

'Frankie Richmond' is a London barrister long on attitude and short on lucrative work. Her chaotic private life interrupts her professional one far too often but never so dangerously as when she agrees to defend an old friend. A routine appearance at a magistrates court catapults Frankie into a nightmare from which she wakes up to find herself arrested for murder.

The police would love to see her go down so Frankie sets out to solve the case herself – while trying to revive her flagging career, disentangle her mercurial friendships and meet the woman of her dreams. As she steps up the search for the killer – and a particularly elusive Sir Douglas Quintet track – Frankie's talent for sewing confusion is given full rein, particularly when clearing her name involves exposing some pretty unsavoury truths about those closest to her.

Sharp, streetwise and totally engaging, 'Good Bad Woman' is a slice of London life with a twist, and the first in a new series featuring the irresistible Frankie Richmond.
