Praise for Cass Green:

‘Dark, gripping and totally compelling. A genuine page-turner’ Alex Lake, bestselling author of After Anna

‘A beguiling thriller, beautifully written and suffused with a delicately rising sense of menace which builds to a nerve-shredding climax. Once again Cass Green has written a book which you’ll happily be held captive by’ Eva Dolan

‘The Girl on the Train meets Notes on a Scandal. I read it one sitting, totally gripped.’ Erin Kelly

‘The Woman Next Door had me gripped from first page to last – completely under the spell of prim yet twisted narrator Hester, a pensioner with an exhilaratingly pitch-black heart of darkness beneath her twinset and pearls’
Ruth Ware, author of In A Dark Dark Wood

captivated from the very beginning!

I loved this book. the everyday woman put into extraordinary circumstances and the completely understandable responses to them, this book felt completely alive for me. excellent narration, gripping storyline, fulfilling ending. I will read it again, and soon.

Never disappoints.

I listened to No Good Deed in one day while doing spring cleaning. I own all 3 books available on Audible. I will purchase future books by Cass Green without hesitation.

Retitled

Do not buy if you already own "Don't You Cry" by this author. The cover was the same except for the title and I bought it thinking it was a new work. Seems they're just trying to make money twice. I was able to refund, luckily.

No Good Book!

If you want to waste 10 hours and 12 minutes of your time, this is the book for you.

I had contemplated abandoning the book multiple times, but I kept on hoping that it would get better. The book's plot summary description was very intriguing and that is why I selected the title. Without divulging any spoilers, the first half of the book was excessively wordy. Overall, the plot was convoluted and none of the characters were likable or believable. The two female narrators' voices were very similar so, at times, it was difficult to discern which character was speaking.

Sooooo disappointing. Do yourself a "good deed" and select another title if you are seeking a compelling read.
