Why read it?

2 authors picked The Wild Girls as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

During lockdown I was invited to take part in an online event with three other authors, one of whom was Phoebe Morgan.

From Marion's list on locked room mysteries.

A who-dunnit-it amongst four friends is the premise at the centre of this novel and the setting (a safari lodge in Botswana) is the perfect backdrop for the story of friendship, betrayal, lies, and revenge. I found myself holding my breath at times because the tension was so high. The characters are relatable and you can identify easily with them too.
