Good Girls Lie is a twisty psychological thriller by J. T. Ellison set in a ritzy girls prep school. The teenage protagonist, Ash, is from England, newly-orphaned by the murder-suicide of her parents. The “Goode School” campus is a bit gothic – old buildings with secret tunnels and passageways situated near a graveyard – and has a history of murder. The mean rich girls who attend Goode all long to join the secret society that secretly runs the school, headed by Becca, who immediately becomes Ash’s antagonist. But there are other suspicious characters as well. The story opens with a murder and ends with …. that’s why you read the book. It’s all about the plot. Fair warning, Kirkus Reviews trashed the novel, calling it “overwrought and underwhelming,” but 230 reader reviews on Amazon give it 4.3 out of 5. Here’s what Publishers Weekly says:
