About this listen

The truth is sometimes darker than fiction, in this gripping psychological thriller from the author of My Husband the Murderer.

When Caroline walks into the bustling bar of a hotel on a Friday afternoon, no one could have predicted what is about to unfold. With chilling precision, she pulls out a gun and shoots her lover five times in cold blood. The crime, committed in plain sight, leaves no room for doubt—Caroline is guilty. But when questioned, she offers no explanation and refuses to comment.

As the case explodes across media outlets, a popular true-crime podcast begins to dig deeper into Caroline's life.

Soon, her writing becomes the key to understanding her past—and potentially, the dark secrets she has yet to reveal. As her defense attorney scrambles to defend her, one question lingers: What happens when a killer rewrites their own story?

And as her trial approaches, whispers grow about a manuscript she’s writing from prison—one that might reveal far more than anyone expected…

A Guilty Woman is perfect for fans of true crime, psychological thrillers, and dark literary mysteries.

Caroline is a protagonist with a serious attitude. She’s fierce, unapologetic, and has a chilling ability to move on from her failures without a single backward glance. As an author, she specialises in writing soulless characters, but could she actually be one herself? Could she truly kill in cold blood?

Charlotte Barnes does a brilliant job of balancing the "likeable" with the "evil." Caroline is exactly the kind of person you know you should avoid, yet you find yourself helplessly drawn into her orbit.

The crime itself is meticulously calculated. Before pulling the trigger, Caroline had every detail in order, right down to locking her half-finished manuscript in her safe. But even when her guilt is undeniable< having shot her victim at point-blank range, she remains a stone wall, refusing to offer a single hint as to her motive.

A gripping, psychological read made even better by the audiobook version; Clare Corbett’s narration is absolutely superb.
