What to expect
Bloomsbury presents Hot Girl Murder Club by Ashley Winstead, read by Brittany Pressley.
'As bold and biting as its title... Winstead is a master of smart, compulsive suspense' JENEVA ROSE
From INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING author Ashley Winstead comes a buzzy, bloody new thriller about success, sisterhood, and demanding justice… by any means necessary.
Wronged women always want revenge. But how far is too far?
When powerful men begin turning up dead across Los Angeles, suspicion falls on emerging pop star Scout Sage. Still haunted by her sister’s mysterious death, Scout faces the collapse of her career, her reputation, and her tenuous belief in justice.
Assigned to the case is Detective Grey Holloway, whose own history sharpens every judgement. As Grey digs deeper, she uncovers whispers of the so-called Hot Girl Murder Club – a covert sisterhood of ambitious women rising through Hollywood. Women who are done waiting for the men in charge to deliver what's right, bent instead on taking it for themselves.
But are they correcting a broken system - or creating a far more dangerous one?

Critics Review
Edgy and tense, Hot Girl Murder Club takes on the dark side of fame and fortune. A twisty tale of sisterhood and murder where everyone has a motive and no one is safe. This is Ashley Winstead at her best!
Ashley Winstead delivers another razor-smart, wildly entertaining thriller with Hot Girl Murder Club—a book that’s as bold and biting as its title and as unputdownable as her best work. Winstead is a master of smart, compulsive suspense.
'This is the Ashley Winstead thriller you’ve been waiting for—dark, atmospheric, timely, and tense...An ode to the families we’re born into—and the ones we build from the ashes, Hot Girl Murder Club is a pulse-pounding investigation into stardom, sisterhood, and the wildfire of female rage.'
'Hot Girl Murder Club features Ashley Winstead at her absolute finest, firing on all her signature thriller cylinders and wielding the pen like a proper Raymond Chandler in the time of the Kardashians. With her foot firmly on the gas from beginning to end, top down in Tinseltown, readers will be left gasping at the seemingly endless twists and turns, like a night ride down Mulholland after the afterparty. As glamorous as it is gritty, Winstead's latest is a white-hot barnburner of a novel so ferociously feminist, you'll finish the last page ready to light the match yourself!'
If scrolling through the news makes you want to throw your phone across the room, this book is the cathartic fantasy you’ve been waiting for. Hot Girl Murder Club looks, at first glance, like a straight-up revenge story—women finally getting delicious payback from the men who hurt them. But Ashley Winstead is doing something sharper here, using rage, wit, and jaw-dropping twists to capture the exhaustion of living in this moment. Blisteringly fun and bracingly astute, Hot Girl Murder Club is escapism with a bite.
Wild, brutal and incendiary, this book is a Molotov cocktail big enough to catch readers' hearts in its flames.
Prepare to meet your next summer binge read: Ashley Winstead’s Hot Girl Murder Club is literally one of the most addictive, juiciest thrillers I’ve ever read! I couldn’t get enough of Winstead’s evocative backdrop of glittering yet menacing Hollywood and her sharply-drawn, unforgettable protagonist Scout with her collection of stiletto-clad hot girls consumed with ambition. NOBODY does explosive female relationships and power dynamics quite like Winstead and I’m calling it now: Hot Girl Murder Club will be the book of summer!”
A dark exploration of girl power in glittering Hollywood from seeking justice at any cost to how violence can bring us to our knees. Equal parts page-turning thriller and fascinating character study with incredible investigative threads Ashley Winstead pulls so expertly that readers will not be able to put this book down or guess what happens next.
Hot Girl Murder Club is the must-read thriller of the year. Ashley Winstead delivers a glittery, pulse-pounding, and at times, heartbreaking, story about sisterhood and justice and the price of revenge. Vengeance never looked so hot.
A sure fire hot summer hit! I was hooked from the first page - utterly compelling. Intricately plotted and delivered with a bang
Absolutely brilliant. It had everything I want in a book: Hollywood secrets, glamour, conspiracy, a compelling mystery, starlets and rock stars... wow. What a spectacular thought experiment: what if an up-and-coming star like Sabrina Carpenter was a suspected vigilante, out for revenge on the Harvey Weinsteins of Hollywood? There was so much to love here, and so many twists and turns. I'll definitely be recommending this as the perfect summer read.
Ashley Winstead has written a truly unputdownable thriller that peels back the sparkling veneer of Hollywood to reveal the corruption lurking beneath. Pacy, powerful and brilliantly compulsive - I didn’t want it to end!
Edgy and smart, this thriller asks bigger questions than the average whodunnit
Part Hollywood thriller, part feminist revenge fiction, wrapped up in a murder mystery as the sisterhood unites. I was all in ... It’s slick, propulsive and packed with twists, but beneath the thriller lies a sharp commentary on Hollywood, celebrity culture and the systems that protect powerful men while forcing women to fight for every inch of space. The result is a murder mystery with real bite - one that entertains while asking difficult questions
Dark, entertaining and quite unpredictable
