About this listen

Promising Young Woman meets High Fidelity in the dark and twisty thriller from the bestselling author of The Sunday Girl, The Strangers We Know and The Paris Affair.

A bad day at work. A drunken night. A rogue Instagram follow. That’s all it takes to ruin a life …

The question is, whose life will be ruined? When Billie wakes up in a strange guy’s bed, her first thought is: what happened last night? She can't even remember meeting him. And how the hell did she get to Coney Island?

Then reality bites and the memories flood in – the reason she was in that bar to start with: today she's going to get fired. Because yesterday her law firm lost a big case: Samuel Grange v Jane Delaney. And it looked like it was her fault.

It wasn't. Yet now Samuel Grange is free to drive off into the sunset in his stupid Porsche and do it all again to another woman. And all Billie can think is: What about the next girl? And the one after that? But there is nothing she can do to stop him.

Unless ... She could expose the truth about him on her own. Then everyone would see what he was really like. And he wouldn't be able to do it again.

The problem is, the only way to protect the next girl is to become the next girl. And, well, that could be a little risky ... even deadly.

'Original. Breathtaking. Dangerous. The Next Girl is compulsory reading from an author at the top of her game.' (Loraine Peck, author of The Second Son)
'A thriller so propulsive I had to physically put the book down and walk away to coax my heart rate back to normal.'



(Loraine Peck, author of The Second Son)
‘Reading Pip Drysdale is like having cocktails with your savviest girlfriend – you know the one. Fierce, smart and packed with tension, The Next Girl grabbed me from the first page. Drysdale knows how to craft a badass heroine, and with The Next Girl, she turns her sharp eye on injustice, misogyny and surveillance.’ (Ashley Kalagian Blunt, author of Dark Mode)
'A wild rollercoaster of a ride where the twists keep coming and the stakes keep rising. It’s a complete adrenaline rush as Billie takes increasing risks to protect herself and other victims. This clever thriller questions power in relationships, technology and the justice system. It hooked me in and left me breathless. Set aside your weekend because you won’t be able to put it down.' (Petronella McGovern, author of The Liars)
