Michael Robotham’s novel Good Girl, Bad Girl centers around Cyrus Haven, a psychiatrist with a history, and Evie, a young woman with a history and a talent for identifying lies. The book rotates perspectives, although Cyrus has more page time than Evie. Throw in the murder of a local girl and Cyrus’s help in the investigation, and you have many threads going at once. The story is interesting, enjoyable, and fast, but it relies a lot on coincidence, and I’m not a fan of that plot device. It also ends with a lot of those threads unresolved. At first, I thought that was a bold way to end a book of popular fiction—until I discovered this is just the first book in an anticipated series. So, read if you are into series fiction. If you’re not, pass on this book.
