A Guilty Woman — Charlotte Barnes

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 hotel bar 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, Caroline's uncovered writing becomes the key to understanding her past—and potentially, the dark secrets she has yet to reveal. As her attorney scrambles to defend her, one question lingers: What happens when a killer rewrites their own story? And when 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, thrillers, and dark literary mysteries.
