Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Bad by Chloe Esposito, read by Emily Atack.

She stole the life she wanted. Now someone wants to steal it back . . .

Alvie Knightly may be waking up in the Ritz, but her life is no bed of roses.

Firstly, she has the mother of all hangovers.

Secondly, her beautiful, spoiled twin sister Beth has just been found dead in Sicily - and the police want Alvie for questioning.

And thirdly, Alvie's hot new boyfriend has vanished with every penny of the millions they stole from Beth.

But he picked the wrong girl to mess with.

Alvie will pursue her ex to Rome in a game of cat and mouse that only one of them can survive.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned . . .
But can Alvie get revenge before her crimes catch up with her?

Reviews

Revenge will be sweet - and in this case, extremely funny Packed with glamour, murder, sex and oodles of humour - an ideal beach read This fast-paced novel is a deadly game of cat and mouse . . . Multi-faceted, funny Alvie comes in hot, bringing with her a whole new level of hot, wicked, crazy awesome . . . Readers will fly through this book, and anxiously await the conclusion to the trilogy Praise for Mad The must-have beach read this summer Sizzlingly glamorous A fast-paced tale of sex, lies and murder . . . Sex and the City dialled up several notches A summer read to make you hotter than the weather outside . . . you'd be mad not to find room for this in your case Gone Girl plus . . . Esposito has added a dollop of Bridget Jones to the mix The white-hot debut So begins this caper that has Alvina up to her neck in designer labels, hot sex and trouble . . . outrageous I just read Mad in one go. I bloody LOVED it. Like Gone Girl, if Amy Schumer had written it. SUCH fun Allergic to chick lit? Meet Alvie Knightly . . . Insane as its title promises Raunchy, fun Trust us when we say that you won't ever have encountered a character quite like Alvie Knightly . . . A brilliantly bonkers read Like The Devil Wears Prada - fast-paced, but funnier and more readable If you loved [Paula Hawkins'] Into the Water, try Mad She's an evil hot mess is what she is, and I kinda like it! Pure, unadulterated entertainment. There is nothing Chloé Esposito's Alvie won't do. Strap in for a fun, fast and fresh read Chloe Esposito introduces a compelling and uncensored antiheroine Using Sicily as a backdrop with its gorgeous architecture, villas and sexy men, Esposito pens an unforgettable summer debut headed by a no-holds-barred protagonist Deliciously over-the-top, with a protagonist you'll never forget Chloe [has] a fantastic natural vibrancy and humour in her work Expand reviews
